    17/68, oak. Found a streak of wetter wood, hope it’s just the top layer of a tote that got snowed on. Restacked 3 totes from a freestanding stack of wood I split last summer sometime. Surprising how light some of the splits already felt. My goal for firewood this year is to have all 36 totes full plus another 12 totes worth split and stacked in one long row to refill from through next winter.

    It just doesn't seem right that it is so warm out west while it is so cold east of the big river.

    Load of BL and oak before I left for work. Still not above freezing temps. Tomorrow calling for temps to hit 40.

    Yesterday while bringing splits down I saw a flock of robins. I think they may be confused...

    I saw a few trees full of Robins today and thought the same thing. Tomorrow should be more Robin like. I saw one car last week that was plastered with robin holly turds.

    Usually after the Robins have been here about a week we get a significant snow storm.

    And it was 38° here in WI.

    Warmer weather tomorrow and Wednesday too. A bit of the 1.5" of snow we got Sunday am melted. More will melt in the next couple of days.

    Box elder in the quadrafire now.
    32°/69°

    Since you're talking birds, there was an adult bald eagle flying overhead while I was grilling out tonight. I've seen a few recently including a not quite fully white headed couple year old bald eagle over my house in fall. I think they take 5 years to fully get the stark white head and tail.

    We got 4-6 inches of snow the other day . It is down to about 2 inches now. It's not warm enough to melt, it just packs down a little bit and it also just evaporate. Supp0sedly some just above freezing weather on its way.
