I haven't seen too many winters where one can tap trees and get sap in February, but this is one of them. My husband taps a few trees around our property, and we boil down the sap on our wood stove (which we use to heat the house), resulting in jars of golden maple syrup. The kids love to tag along and check the sap cans to see how much we've managed. I can remember doing it last year with thigh-deep snow and a toddler strapped to my back, so this year's half-bare ground is a happy surprise. Roll on, spring. We're already antsy for you.
