    I can handle outside in 40° with 30 mph wind
    but
    not gonna stack wood in 40, 30 mph winds & rain !

    Even had a fire burning the punky stuff, bark & splitter tailings.

    An awful lot of those "uglies" don't look all that ugly.

    In this case , the 2 dimensional Pictures don't do the twisted, bent, bell shaped, knotty stuff justice

    But a few splits are "near punky" centers, not sure how they'll turn out, real heavy - high water content

    Stacked, so far measures 3/4 cord,
    but if a cord is 85 to 90 cubic feet,
    this stuff might make 64 cubic feet per cord.
    Lots of air space in there , might help it dry faster :yes:

    That's the thing with twisted uglies, lots of air space.

    Rain on top of snow sucks! But when it refreezes, it really sucks!

    If it keeps melting, I'll be back riding the bike :)

    Ground is froze , the water isn't soaking in.
    Need break up boots, puddles forming all over the yard.
