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.
