The past winter (2011-2012) was warmer than usual.

Trees are normally tapped in late February when the daily maximum temperature goes above freezing. However, assuming that there have been relatively few days with a maximum temperature below freezing, how would this affect the timing and quantity of sap flow?

I don't know about quantity, but here in NH the sap has been flowing already -- a couple of weeks early from what I can tell. – bstpierre Feb 29 '12 at 3:14
