    3,607 gal of sap from the brief run yesterday from about 2pm-8pm. Sugar content is 1.8-2.0 Brix. Total season yield is definitely above 0.5 gal syrup/tap at this point...will probably make it to 0.6 gal/tap or more. Woods now frozen up solid. Not likely to start running again until this afternoon -- and probably not much and not for long. Will freeze up again tonite. Tomorrow should be a good flow day, continuing through into Friday and beyond. No freezes (not even close) in our forecast through the middle of next week - so this last freeze tonite might signal the beginning of the end, but we'll still get a fair amount of sap between now and then. RO is running now. Hope to boil on Friday.
