Blizzard continued overnight. Some reports of 22” of snow. It raged this morning. Winds gusts of 40-50 mph along with heavy snow. Three and four foot drifts in the yard. But the North wind blew away much of the snow from the West driveway. By Noon the blizzard slowly started to diminish and the sky brighten. By 3:15 PM the sun appeared although the wind continued. Mid-20s. Tonight in the single digits.

Checked the woods and syrup building by 8:00 AM. Moved the milk cans of syrup into the heated R/O room to prevent freezing since the temperature will been single digits, teens or low 20s for several days.
