I went up to the sugar bush this afternoon. Temp here approaching 70F this afternoon. Most of the snow is gone. Last Sunday it was knee to hip deep. The cousins have mad about 120 gal. of nice light syrup this week. they hung 2700 buckets.
The remodeled sap house is much nicer and the newer evaporator that replaced two old 50s era Grimm evaporators is working very well., and is making more syrup per hr. than the other two could produce.
The first pic was last Sunday when there was still snow. If we don't get back to normal temps., this will be a very early and short year. Sap run has slowed down a lot in last two days of high 60s temp and no freeze up at night.
