Sunday night I thought the sap was going to stop due too freezing up. It never froze hard and the sap ran a bit all Sunday night. I wound up getting 9000 gallon from 6:00am Sunday to 6:00am Monday. Then the sap kept running yesterday and I got another 5750 gallons. Today the sap is still running at 375 GPH but the sugar and sap quality are going down. Sugar is 1.7-1.8% but it is going to freeze hard tonight. By the time it freezes tonight I should another 5-6000 gallons in the tank. Hurt my back yesterday checking lines. Did find some leaks and vacuum is back up. I still think we have two more weeks in my area. I don"t believe the 10 day forecast and still think there will be some good cold nights to come. The CV2 spouts are working great. My sap runs are bigger now then ever before and I think the CV2 spouts have something to do with it. Even with sugar dropping yesterday I think I have about 1400+ gallons of syrup to date. I'm not stopping till the birds start building nest in the trees.
