Well I'm at 52 gallons, but not sure if we will get another week here in Belchertown. it looks good for a few days but the warm up is very near... freezing nights will be a thing of the past. Last year I made 82 by the end of march but this season I have only had 2 days with a really good run. I will hold out and maybe make some C but if the buckets have only and inch of sap in them everyday then I'm done... not worth the 1.5 hours of driving around collecting it each day.
I have shut the vacuum on the woods down, now that the ice is melting the sugar went down to just over 1% so time to start pulling them and flushing early. I'm not waiting too long this year.
lets hope it holds out a bit longer, I'm hearing that west of us in NY are starting to shut down already.
