Very low sugar content

[NH/Pete]

I'm tapped in Ipswich Ma and Newton NH. Low volume at both locations although Ipswich is picking up a bit.

i've had avarage flow and avarage to low sugar %. the forecast has me worried, not many lows below freezing. we're at 1250 feet elevation and are usally alot cooler than forecasted 3-5 degrees, but still doesn't look great. today though, there should be some serious sap, should run into the night slowing by tomarrow with no freeze

What are the two days of 60 degrees gonna do? What should I do to keep my sap unspoiled before I can boil?

Not sure how much sap you have. I'll be packing snow up around my drums.
Also I will freeze up sap to use as extra large ice cubes in the drums.

Best thing you can do is boil asap.

I went arounf and collected ice chunks this am and will go get what I have left for ice this evening to put in my barrells. i can nto boil until Saturday so I'm going to have to keep ot cold as best I can. I may freese some 2 gallon buckets of sap to toss back in the tanks if I start to lose the ice I have.

I'm also going to wrap some reflective material around my tanks to try and minimize heating up in the sun.
