My friend Tom has been working on his sugaring equipment off and on for the last week or so. The weather was to turn perfect for sugaring and he wanted to be ready. He had several improvements he intended to make to the evaporator.
Last Saturday he and the kids kicked off the season. They got the buckets up and got all ready.
They got the buckets out before the last snow storm. The sap wasn’t flowing well before Wednesday but it should start soon as 40’s F days and 20’s F nights are coming, perfect for sugaring.
They should be collecting sap in the next day or so.
