Sunday, March 6, we received at least 30" of snow, needless to say we are buried. This is a picture of my car!
The RO (Reverse Osmosis) machine quit running yesterday. The repair man could not get to us on Sunday because the road to Montgomery was closed due to flooding. He couldn't get to us on Monday, because we had too much snow.
Harvey ended up having to boil the 1,000 gallons of sap yesterday without the RO which takes so much longer to make syrup.
Today, Harvey traded in the old RO and bought a new one. We expect the new RO within a couple of days. Looks like we will be getting some more sugaring weather on Thursday and Friday and we are going to need this RO. Temperatures in the high 30's, low 40's, rain, sleet and snow.
Tomorrow we have a crew headed into the woods to dig main lines and sap lines out of the snow. Having lines buried certainly doesn't help the sap get to the sugarhouse!
