I remembered I had forgot to add a drop to a pail yesterday and I did that first thing morning, then I realized that the tree that fell, took out a different maple than I thought and the maple I had planned to tap, was still there, so I tapped it as a drop to another pail. So there are 18 experimental taps.

More snow fell overnight so I the snow is getting deep to walk through. Warmer weather arrives tomorrow, the melt starts and maybe some sap will flow tomorrow, maybe the next day. It will be fun learning.

I spent the morning plowing snow and the afternoon playing with the grandkids.

On the first three shots you can see the two maple trees that still have their leaves on and on the next two photos you can see my evaporator shelter.
