0 here again. I have my sister down from VT. and my Brother and his family up from NJ. Wanting to see how maple syrup is Well not yet!!! She lives just north of stowe past the notch. She was loving it outside it was 29* yesterday they have been MUCH colder than us this winter but she couldnt believe how much snow we have. snow is compacted pretty well now 7-8-9 feet what ever we got there in that 3 week period has compressed to 2.5 -3 feet in most areas. It was fluffy but I will take that over heavy concrete snow any day.

Cleaning the house and stuff has set me back on tapping but I got 300 in 200+- to go. heading shortly to get some more in. cold though. Planning to the get the RO going Monday in hopes the weather will change and we will get sap sooner. looks like wed. will now be the vacuum leak checking day. then we freeze up for a few days. then I can finish getting the SH ready.
