Seems appropriate for a thread titled popping wood... er, close enough.

No trees tapped here yet... we still ain't seen anything above freezing.
More freezing rain, sleet and snow for tomorrow, possibly some low-to-mid 30's next week... but I ain't holding my breath.
The wife told me some "expert" on TV said we can expect another 30 inches of snow in March... Oh Boy‼

You speaking for others now??
And prove me wrong about the sap if'n you're so sure.
The "running" of the sap (which is what happens during the sugaring season, it "runs" down and out of the tree) is not the same thing as the "flowing" of the sap (which can only happen after the leaves come out, and the sap "flows" up to the top of the tree)
Prove me wrong ‼

, it ain't temperature that causes sap to start running, or leaves to fall, or whatever... it's the ratio of daylight to darkness that does. As the days get longer the trees start waking-up, as the days get shorter the trees go to sleep... temperature has nothing to do with it.
So no, Sugar Maple sap "flow" is not temperature dependent... but temperature is what allows you to "drain" sap
Best advice I can give you Dalmation90 is to put said spider monkey on the ignore list. If enough people do that, he'll just fade away like a mild case of the shitz. He thrives on attention in order to feed his narcissistic personality.Well, we can start with Cornell not agreeing with you on the definition of "flow"

And University of Vermont can offer some more clarity:

As is common on your posts, you get most of it right. But you're certainty on points you're wrong about in subtle ways can really rub the folks who actually know what they're talking about wrong.
From your first post:
The UVM link partially debunks that, explaining temperature is the key component early in the season to push sap up from the roots for the first 32', after which you need leaves to continue. That's one example of your certainty when wrong on subtle points.
And another of your posts:
You ought to know on a group that beats up on folks who misuse the term Cord regularly, you shouldn't be making up your own definitions. The movement of sap during maple sugaring season is known as flow. It's another bit of certain but subtly wrong part of your posts. Maples do flow, dependant on temperature. You got the mechanism right in that case, even if you called the phenomena the wrong name.
I would like to teach those fine lady's about some " POPING "Only more of one thang will make one more right.
I don't mind Spidey...just I've learned to take what he says with a grain of salt because he gets it almost right most of the time.
