Yep same here...darker but nice....the weather is all over the place. Thought my trees had budded and was done but only a couple small ones have. I may still be in the game after last nights freeze up.

Tapping just outside of Ingersoll ON. Pretty sure my season is done before it really got started. Most large roadside maples have budded and dried up. Made approx 8gal of finished product, pretty disappointing considering I invested in a new SmokyLake 2x6 Corsair.
Is it possible they just needed another freeze? Or done? I should know if mine are done tomm. I'm hoping there's a few more days yet as all are well below road grade .

I'm located just west of Woodstock and trees here aren't budded yet.....flow is slow on the buckets (100 tapped) and I still see the one commercial guy nearby is still hauling. May be able to squeeze a little more out.
Good luck

Collected 65 gal so just under 1 gal per tap some of my big road sides haven't given hardly anything yet and only have one tree that has signs of budding. Forest is still good and sap is sweet and clear.
