We're going to get spoiled. Finished boiling and cleaning up before 10:00. Since this non-stop run started Thursday morning we have had 23,000 gallons. Sap is still coming in at 300gph temp is 34 degrees. Hopefully we will have a freeze. Will have to restart the RO later tonight to make room for more if it doesn't freeze. 35 barrels so far.
It"s 5:42am at my house and the temp is 31 degrees. I hope this will be good enough to allow for a big run today. Yesterday I got about 5000 gallons.
Spud
6:15 and its 23° at my house in Therford. I believe that will be enough for a recharge

Been watching this thread and the weather intently all week, I figure I'm around 60% of a crop right now (selling sap).
It was 28F at my tanks ten minutes ago, things seem frozen pretty hard, really hoping it's enough!

Weather channel website had forecast the overnight low to be well above freezing.
Must be they need to tweak their modeling. :)
Up in the NEK, we've also been off on the temps from predictions and had snow flurries most of yesterday with temps around 34 until noon. At least the trees above 2,000ft elevation are starting to run. Made 240 gallons on Friday and 260 yesterday. Next two weeks looks good with temps around 30 most nights and still three feet of snow in most of the sugarbush.
