Nothing today, started out with some snow then rain and now freezing rain, checked and lines had sap in them but froze. Well next week looks like a couple of warm up days and then cold again. Ahhh

We got a little movement today down south, but hovered around freezing. The woods are icy and limbs might start cracking. I don't need electricity to boil sap, though!
