Had a decent run 7 gallons, was about noon before we broke the freezing mark and even longer down in the hole.
Another inch of snow today, the forecast shows a decent week next week. Doubt it will go longer than that we're usually froze up solid by the end of November.
Got my plan together for first trial of tubing, gonna put in 12 taps on 3/16. Built the shack is at the lowest point of the property not the easiest build site but will pay off once tubing starts going in. Eventually 2000+ taps straight to the sugar shack.... But that's a loooong ways away, 25-30 years lol
