yep, freezing until Tuesday, then good sap running weather for a week at least.

Sam and I spied a decent setup not far (2 miles) from us on water company land in Monroe. Looks like a vacuum system, but not done yet. I will be curious to see a bigger setup first hand without traveling far. Unless they truck the sap!

BTW, people talk about throwing away the ice. When it is zero F, the whole thing is frozen. Even ice floating on tap may have frozen sugars inside. I boiled some strained ice last weekend separately, got syrup, actually lighter in color than the rest I have.
