Well collected today for the first time since the 21st. A total of 70g plus what the kids spilled lol was what I got. That's not bad I think with this crummy weather we are having.

My Dad saw on the news last night that Windsor was at +23 degrees Celsius,that's insane!!! Sounds like what ended our season exactly 5 years ago right now,hit plus 30 here,everyone was loving it except for sugar makers,then I reminded them that meant bug season would begin that much sooner.Originally Posted by argohauler

We collected about 30g yesterday at 2pm from 46 taps and another 15g this morning. From the looks of the few buckets I checked late afternoon I expect another 30 tomorrow morning.
However, looks like no more freezing in site so that may be the end of it.
Finished for the year today. 850 lts from 620 taps.
I have about 40gal of sap left to boil today and then that's it. Once that done and I finish off what's in the pan I guestimate around 50L finished from 50 taps I have 20 taps on road side trees that gave jack all season so next season it will be bush trees only.
2017 45 taps 43L
2018 55 taps 50L
2019 60 taps ~75L avg sugar 3.3%
2020 60 taps 70L
2021 60 taps cant remember
2022 60 taps 95L
2023 60 taps 75L New baby came day off boiling started, gave away 1200L of 3% didn't have time.
Just finished collecting 100 gal and pulled 99 taps/buckets in Embro area. Noticed that some of the trees on edge of the bush are beginning to bud. My son is finishing boiling down about 450 gal collected from Tues and Fri. Good luck to all.

I HEAR PEEEPERS, last boil today...about 35 litres from 38 taps. Not bad considering we thought it was over 3 weeks ago. OH and a gallon of walnut from 20 taps.
Wow - what a difference across the province! You have peepers and are shutting down. We have 18" of snow in the woods and have only boiled 3 times! I'm still taking the skidoo to check on tanks. Glad you've had a good season in the southwest.
