The 10 days from March 23 to April 1 were the peak of the season.  We collected one day and cooked the next.  Collected 1505 gallons of sap, 38% of the season total, during this time.  We were able to stay on top of the sap because of the R/O.  Without it we would not have finished cooking one day’s  collection before the next one came in.  We would have cooked late into the night and filled all our storage tanks.  We’ve been there.  But we were able to pace this out to very manageable days.

12 overnight.  Sunny this morning with clouds this afternoon.  Temperature reached low 40s.  Checked the trees at Noon.  Some tried to run, but nothing of consequence.  Sap likely moving in the trees but the taps are getting old.

Tonight we get snow.  Forecast calls for 6”-10” or 7”-11”.  We’ll see what the next 24 hours delivers.
