First collection.  150 gallons.  2 Brix.  Down to about 28 overnight.  Up to 48 maybe 50 during the day.    We have about 4 or 5 of these warm days yet until we return to a more normal weather pattern.

 

Went out about 3:00 PM to collect.  We were hoping for 200-225 gallons based on our spot checks earlier in the day.  We came up short of that.  However when its this warm its good to get the sap in.  Tomorrow we will start the evaporator.

 

Last week we were tapping with daily highs of 10 degrees and 5 degrees.  A week later its way above normal.
