Sorry haven't seen it, Karen, but amazingly none of my near-empty pails got blown off. Just a couple of lids. Was glad to see that more spiles are slowing or stopping altogether, but the remaining spiles that are going hot are in my late-running trees. I swear they do it on purpose! Leaving sap out there frozen til later today, have a lot of work to do.
Oh and batch #5 is a gorgeous red, a little over 5l. Going to hotpack later today and maybe get #6 finished too.
