Checked the buckets late this afternoon after skiing with the kids. Nada! Nothing. Empty. Hoping the temp drop this evening will produce something. Not sure what the week will produce with this crazy volatile weather!

I put in 15 taps Saturday afternoon (beautiful) and 10 more Sunday morning (not so beautiful). Snowshoes have never seemed so amazing.
Didn't think there'd be much today so I didn't go out after work.
I'll go out before work tomorrow morning. Supposed to be nicer tomorrow so we'll see what happens.
I got my 55 gal barrel for sap storage. Just need to get some plumbing supplies tomorrow to get it ready for action. Hopefully one late night and it'll be ready.
