Its been above 0 here the past three days but not enough to thaw roots and trees.
I tried the weights on the lids before and still had some pails get blown around by the higher winds at times.
Since then I use some paracord and tie the pail handle to the tree and dont have to untie to empty them just re-adjust the cord after and haven't had an issue since.
Kind of a bummer when you go check your pails and they have been blown around and the hose is just dripping sap on the ground.
