We are getting reports from contacts in CT, MA and NY also saying the weather is too warm and the season is not good.   This  season could be a washout across the US maple belt.   We will hang in there for week or 10 days yet.   The weather forecast still has a return to normal conditions for this weekend.  The danger is that the taps dry out.

We did start the evaporator today.   Want to get the sap in it completely boiled down and processed.  It was just a few hours of light firing.  Tomorrow we should be able to finish it.  

We did get a light frost last night, but we will need a few days of sustained freezes to get sap moving.
