Down to 5 below overnight, but it warmed  quickly.  By 10:30 AM it was mid-20s.  And later in the afternoon reached 32/33.  But the ground is cold yet so there was no melting even with the sun.  But with warmer temperatures the snow stopped squeaking.  It changed to crunching under foot.  A later in the day even stopped crunching.

 

Tapped 50 in the morning and 48 in the afternoon.  We ran out of the 5/16” spouts so that why 48 taps instead of 50 taps.  We will switch to the 7/16” stainless steel spouts.  We like the smaller spouts because they make a smaller wound on the tree that heals faster.
