Did not freeze overnight.  Well, maybe 32 for a short time, but not a hard freeze.  Up to mid 40’s but cloudy and windy.  Later in the week its forecast for freezing nights again.

 

Into the woods by 7:15 AM.   Back to the house by 5:30 PM.   Only 150 gallons of sap remain from the weekend collections.   One milk can is full of syrup and working on the second.

 

Nitre is again building up on the syrup pan, but we were able to keep the boil going.  Something is different with the sap this season.  Different proportions of minerals must be in the sap this season causing a different reaction to heat.
