Should be rippin Monday Tuesday!! I cant wait.Just made a big mountain of snow behind the barn and tarped it to store sap and it will last till April like last year.I was getting nervous not having a good snow storm to make the pile but we received 8-9".I cut holes in the pile to store the drums for a couple days till boiling.

Good idea on piling up the snow, Ill put in the shade and it will last awhile. Got a gallon of sap tonight, some trees producing and some bone dry.
