9 overnight.  Sunny and up to 37 today.  After the storm moved out last night the sky cleared and the full moon illuminated everything outside because it reflected off the new snow. 

Into the woods by 7:15 AM to cook Wednesday’s 140 gallons.  The pipe from the storage tank to the R/O was frozen.  Had to take it off to thaw it over the evaporator.  Had the R/O going by 9:30. It finished by 11:00.   Done cooking by 12:30.   Three batches into the milk can.

Put a milk can on the finishing pan at 11:30.     Bottled 29 quarts.  

The trees seem confused by the weather.  Even with the freezing night and sunny day they did not drip.

Back to the house by 3:30 PM.
