Yup, it was absurd today pulling taps while it snowed.<\/p>\n
28-30 overnight. We got about 2\u201d of snow after 2:00 AM. During the day we continued to get snow squalls with heavy snow. Got an additional inch. This afternoon’s squalls were particularly heavy while we pulled taps. It was absurd pulling taps in the snow. Don’t recall ever doing that. There is more snow in the woods now when we pulled the taps then when we put out the taps the end of February.<\/p>\n
The next five days the forecast is for temperatures about 20 degrees below normal. Tonight’s forecast is 14.<\/p>\n
Into the woods at 1:00 PM to begin pulling taps. All the taps to the west of the building are down, about 1\/3 of the total. Picked up 25 gallons of sap along the way. There was small run. The 7\/16 stainless steel spouts were still running while the 5\/16 were mostly dry. Also started a second wash of the R\/O. Wash tank looked clean this morning. This second wash should be enough. Then we break it down and bring it back to the farmhouse.<\/p>\n
After 3:00 PM the sky cleared and the sun came out. Back to the farmhouse by 5:00 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
