Snow flurries this morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM.\u00a0 No accumulation, but a white coating on the ground.<\/p>\n
The trees ran through the night.\u00a0 It was a good run.\u00a0 Buckets \u00bd to running over.\u00a0 We collected 575 gallons.\u00a0 That should give us an average season based on sap volume.\u00a0 Started collecting at 3:00 PM.\u00a0 Problems with transfer pump again.\u00a0 Somehow it was getting air and not pumping at full capacity.\u00a0 Took about 25 minutes instead of 12 minutes to empty.<\/p>\n
By 5:00 PM the sun was out.\u00a0 \u00a0Forecast for 32 tonight.\u00a0 50S tomorrow.<\/p>\n
After collecting cleaned the syrup pan of the evaporator.\u00a0 \u00a0 It had a heavy buildup of nitre for our last cooking.\u00a0 Took an hour to clean, but its now ready for the morning.<\/p>\n
The filter press pump part arrived.\u00a0 We replaced it so we are ready to finish and bottle again.\u00a0 Now we just have to find time.\u00a0 Three milk cans now.\u00a0 We\u2019ll add to that tomorrow when we cook.<\/p>\n\n\n
