Did not freeze overnight.  About 35 for the high today.   Cloudy.  A little rain.  Some flurries during the day.  More snow late in the day.

 

Into the woods by 8:00 AM to cook.  Took a long time to clean the syrup pan.  The nitre is still building up on the pan.  Still now sure why, but its like we did not clean it for 3 or 4 days.

 

After a water run, we started the finishing pan.  Bottled 33 quarts.

 

All the tanks are now empty.  Three more batches into the milk can.

 

Tomorrow we plan to collect whatever is there.  With luck the weather will be with us.  Its forecast for mid-20’s over night and 40s and sunny tomorrow.

 

There is still ice around the building.   Very late for that.   Snow in the woods too yet.
