16 overnight. Sunny and 36 today. But when it starts so cold it takes time to warm up. Trees dripping slowly. Tree pressure up to 8 PSI. Taps out for a week now without sap to collect.
Into the woods by 5:45 AM to move tanks and start evaporator setup. Got the 325 gallon permeate tank setup with hose connected. Then got pans off of the evaporator so we can add back the fire brick we removed to weld the patch. Back to the farmhouse by 7:30 AM.
Tomorrow’s forecast is 40. Then colder the rest of the week. Long range forecast looks promising, but any forecast beyond 2-3 days is not reliable.
