Snow and Ice = frozen sap

8:00 am Good snowy sunny morning!  We're plowed and open and ready to have a happy busy day with sugar on snow, snowshoes, tours, and pancakes.  

Sap?  We've got one and a half tanks of frozen sap that came down the hill after our last boil and it's been too cold to boil.  Can't manage the sap and the evaporator effectively when it's really cold.  

Looks like good sugaring weather coming up this week, though.  We expect we'll get some sap soon enough - maybe Monday.  The ups and downs of temperature this week should be perfect...although one never knows.  Up here in the "mountains" temperature are always cooler.  Cross your fingers! 

We'll take bookings on Thursday + Friday this week (Maple Magic) if you want to beat the crowds.  Same thing during March Break.  

Happy spring everyone!
