We got tapped in a couple weeks ago with a blip of warmer weather, but we are officially in production mode now. A bit of sun yesterday afternoon and temperatures nearing 40 got enough sap moving to start a system flush which we completed this morning. 7 hours of hunting leaks later and we’re in the green with sap filling up the tank as I type.
It is hard to know what the season will hold, but it sure feels more “normal” than the past several seasons. Our growing degree days are still at ZERO, the 2-week forecast looks favorable, and we’ve got a good system that will be running even tighter after we search Line 3 for leaks in the morning.
