Into the woods by Noon. Started collecting at 12:45 PM. 325 gallons. Solo. Pumping out the full tank delays us by 50 minutes because the transfer pump is slow. We work ahead emptying buckets and leaving the full collecting pails by the road to dump when we drive by.
Trees dripped overnight as we anticipated. But the run is done now. Don’t expect more sap until next week after the snow storm has passed.
Forecast still shows between 8”-18” of snow. Final amount depends on the storm track.
Back to the farmhouse by 5:00 PM.
