Snow flurries this morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM.  No accumulation, but a white coating on the ground.

The trees ran through the night.  It was a good run.  Buckets ½ to running over.  We collected 575 gallons.  That should give us an average season based on sap volume.  Started collecting at 3:00 PM.  Problems with transfer pump again.  Somehow it was getting air and not pumping at full capacity.  Took about 25 minutes instead of 12 minutes to empty.

By 5:00 PM the sun was out.   Forecast for 32 tonight.  50S tomorrow.

After collecting cleaned the syrup pan of the evaporator.    It had a heavy buildup of nitre for our last cooking.  Took an hour to clean, but its now ready for the morning.

The filter press pump part arrived.  We replaced it so we are ready to finish and bottle again.  Now we just have to find time.  Three milk cans now.  We’ll add to that tomorrow when we cook.
