I figured that time of year is coming again, so let's start a new thread for our favorite time of year.
Here in north-central PA, we finally got a decent cold snap going. Hopefully the trees are resting up, and in a few weeks I can go out and start tapping and repairing my lines from last year.
This year's plan is to run about 30 taps, and make somewhere between 3-5 gallons of finished syrup. I made a little more than 3 gallons last year, and converted some of it to maple sugar. Once I get 2019 syrup put up, I'll take any leftover, and convert all of it to sugar. Mrs. Geek uses it just like brown sugar in her baking, and it's fantastic!
