Looks about like it does here. We started working in the sugarplace last week. My nephew came down, and we got snowshoe trails broken out along all the pipelines, dug out the sugarhouse, and started replacing some of the oldest tubing. The stuff has about a five to ten year service life, and I am currently on year 15 with some of it. Expensive, but the only way I can continue to make syrup.
Nobody around here is "dumb enough" to wade through the snow and carry buckets, or they want high wages and short hours, or their back hurts, or they are already working 70 hours a week for themselves. Once everything is tapped and running, the only labor beyond what I do boiling, is a couple hours each day for one person to walk through the woods checking for leaks, and another hour or so hauling wood into the sugarhouse. You are very lucky to have family and regular help to do it the old way.
My nephew had to go back home this weekend to deal with a hole in his roof from a pine branch that fell on it. I am trying to get my water running at home, not sure if the pump failed or there is a leak. I may just go back to the dark ages until warmer weather.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
