Our thanks to all the volunteers are making this year's sugaring program such a success. We Like to See Sap flow is sensitively linked to weather conditions. Good flow comes with below freezing temperatures at night followed by bright sunshine and daytime temperatures well above freezing. Runs can occur with a falling barometer such as may occur before a wet March snowstorm. Flow does not occur if temperatures remain below freezing.
Flow ceases once overnight temperatures consistently remain above freezing.
This produced the voluminous sap flow that carried on into Monday and Tuesday. We're looking for a similar rise later this week.
