Very amber sap since snow

[Sgwebster]

In south central Minnesota we got a slow start last week and about 10 gallons of fairly clear sap then it snowed and I’m noticing a very amber color sap in all the buckets as things restart. is this caused by the sudden shift in the weather?

Most of the time this is weather related. I would say too warm. I have seen orange, brown, tan, and shades between. I have dumped some and boiled some.
Keep boiling!

More than likely some snow got into the buckets which caused the yellow sap. Boil and taste some before you toss it. I've made a lot of good syrup from sap that was just like that.
