It was an odd day for weather. Last night we had snow flurries, then rain. By morning it was about 35 degrees. And the sap started to flow. We collected about 150 gallons of sap. Family, friends and neighbors came to help. It was not a lot of sap, but its best to collect it while its fresh. And we had help because of the weekend. While collecting, snow flurries returned. For awhile we feared a repeat of yesterdays snow. But these flurries stayed light. We had to empty the ice from the storage tanks from earlier in the week. The ice is just water without any of the sugar that’s in sap so there is no loss discarding the ice. Fired up the evaporator to boil. A batch of almost finished syrup was drawn off earlier this evening. Don’t now how much yet.
