24 hours ago the snow was gone.  The ground bare and brown.  Now we have 6”-8” of snow covering everything.  The wind blows the snow around too.   Second time since mid-February the snow melted then returned.  Because of the cold ice is reforming on the river too.

The trees must be confused about what’s going on: move sap or don’t move sap.   Right now they are not moving sap.

The new heater kept the R/O room at 60.  We’re gaining confidence in it.

Ordered a replacement hand pump for the filter press.

By Wednesday we start to warm.  Thursday and Friday we see high 30s.  And the weekend is looking promising.  We have the open house this weekend so having sap to cook would make it nicer for visitors.
