Better stock up on waffles and pancakes mix! Actually maple syrup drizzled over the best vanilla ice cream you can get your hands on is such an amazing treat. I'll post some other ways to use this gold elixir of the north.

Sap Collecting
The trees have been very generous early on. To date there are 14 taps in and from only three days of sap collecting the trees have given up over 50 gallons. In my book that is a high rate of flow. Now if the sugar percent in the sap is around 2% or 40:1 ratio that should yield over one gallon of finished syrup. That will be nice for a few days work.
The weather is forecasted to gradually get cold towards the middle of February which will probably slow the sap flow down somewhat. After that from the last week in February through the first couple of weeks in March it looks to be ideal throughout the period for good sap flow.
