Started tapping today. It’s sunny and 55. Feels like end of March. This is climate change. We’re two weeks early by the calendar, but we can no longer go by the calendar. We need to monitor the weather patterns and act accordingly. The 14 day and 30 day forecasts show temperature trending above normal.
200 taps out. Sap is dripping. Not fast, but enough to confirm it’s time to tap. Plan for another 200 taps tomorrow.
Tomorrow is cooler: 40s. By the weekend 30s and teens are forecast. Cold spells are okay.
