Got about 800 gal on vac yesterday and around 100 on 115 sap bags. I kind of kick myself for turning off my vac last night. By 9 it had froze up but this morning at 730 when I turned the vac on it was running good with no ice. Even though the ground and all puddles completely froze up over night.

Vac pulled 950 so far boiling right now making dark at 2% sap. Sap is clear as can be lots a sugar sand here too
-
Gathered 325 today, making medium. Sap from the sugar maples was 2.1. The 200 red maples on vacuum was at 1.5.
-
550 gal today at only 1-1.1%. Bags barely ran got around 50 gal from 115 bags.

Just to the east I've done pretty well. I've gotten 515gal. off of my 196 taps for this run. Sugar content low at 1.0 - 1.4%. I've got about 4gal. of medium made. It looks like I have a bit more sap for today. I don't know if it will be worth boiling. Guys on buckets are doing bad.
Heus, did you start up the RO yet? Hows that working for you? Good luck guys!

gravity did ok , about 240g on 140 or so, and another 15-20g on 23 buckets... just enough to boil today. ill check % today.

I've had 160 bags up since last Sunday, I've only collected 40 gallons of sap so far and it doesn't look like I will be seeing any more for the next week or so. What is my best option for the sap I have so far? Will it keep for another week with below freezing temps? It will take 40 gallons just to fill my pans let alone sweeten them.

Had 600 gal. friday @2% made 2-3 gal. of ADARK. Pans were filthy so drained and cleaned. Have about 200 gal. from Sat. not gathered yet. Not worth bringing in hope weather straightens out soon. Still Have 140 buckets to hang yet maybe this week.
