We had light snow overnight. First snow of any kind in over two months. If only we had this weather a month ago, same for the cold we had at the end of march, it would have been a different season.
My lines are all down, and I will filter/bottle some today. It felt colder when I was taking down than when we put them up. Still need to pressure wash out tanks, but will wait for warmer weather.
Anyone going to watch the eclipse on Monday 4/8? I will be heading to the Rochester area this weekend, and hope for clear weather. I'm sure many of you are already in the totality zone, so don't have to travel at all. I also went to Tennessee in 2017 for the last one. it's a wonderful natural phenomena that should not be missed.
