Cold overnight again. 21, but dropped to 18 at dawn. That causes a lot of ice. Mostly sunny today with temperature up to mid 30s. It took until 9:30 to start melting but the temperature rose slowly. It was after Noon before the PSI came up and the trees started slowly dripping. We waited until 4:00 to collect to give an extra hour for ice in the buckets to melt. There was still ice to dump, but the extra hour did help. Pickup up 260 gallons, but there is approximately 40 gallons still in the woods because we didn’t have extra collecting pails to haul it in. We’ll get it tomorrow. It’s forecast to be warmer overnight.
Into the woods at 11:00 AM to put the cap on the R/O pressure vessel. Then back into the woods by 3:15 PM to prepare for collecting. Done collecting by 6:00 PM. Pumped the collecting tank into the storage tank. Back to the farmhouse by 6:35 PM.
