When do you think you'll get a thaw and the sap starts running?

I have lots of sugar maple but only tap a few to make syrup for myself. If we get more snow, it will a PITA to go check the buckets

It’s flowing today at 50 f degrees good question?
I would tap as soon as the snow melts around the roots , in your case put in one tap to experiment?
