100  taps today.  The snow was a little better this afternoon because it was warmer today.  18 over night and up to 40 during the day.  The warmer temperature helped the snow pack down after walking over it.  But even through it was 40 it did not melt much.  It was cloudy.  We need the warm sun to start melting.  The forecast called for a wintery mix of snow/sleet.  But nothing came.

 

There are still trails in the woods that need to be opened.   Its a real struggle with the tractor to drive through and open the trails.   And it was not packing down either so next time through it was still a struggle.  If it warms over the weekend as forecast then we can drive through to pack down the trail.
