    If you make your curfew around 11 or no later than midnight, you might be OK for kicking up your heels tonight:dancer::dancer:

    26 here now, Burning Walnut, Maple and Boxelder with Elm on deck. The stack I'm into is a real smogishborg of all kinds of wood. I burned about 3-1/4 cord so far I reckon, with plenty left.

    20s still here, feeling pretty moist outside. Snow, rain, and 45* coming tonight and tomorrow.. No problem, got my weekly wood chores done today and tomorrow is plumbing day anyway. Upstairs toilet won't shut off without lifting the lever by hand, and the downstairs sink leaks at the top of the hot water line. Oughtta be able to knock off by noon. :)

    Ash and Sugar maple sharing the load for the foreseeable future.

    Yep, got a couple big white pine that would hit the house if they wanted to drop in this direction. The top already broke out of one.

    Got a load of wood after work, and enjoyed a great sunset for a good 45 minutes on the way home. Stumbled across 5 good dead birch today, that were easy to get to. All in the 18-22 inch base size, what good luck. I brought 1 tree home, have 2 more pickup loads at work and at least 4-5 loads worth or rounds in the woods.

    rain to sleet to 6+ inches of heavy snow. Currently 10 degrees but feels like -9. Wind howling, going to be a busy day of digging out. Reminds me of the snowstorms in the late 70s.

    31°, freezing rain changing to rain later. We get the winds tomorrow. I'm glad I got to work outside last week, doesn't look very promising for the near future. I couldn't budge the oak log I have my eye on. It's cut into 4 foot sections, but frozen to the ground I think. There is a slight arch under the top section where I could cut it through, but I don't know if I could even roll it then.

    19°f 17 MPH gusting to 40-45. Have not gone out yet, sounding like 8+- inches of snow. I am seeing some good size drifts on the west side of the house. Go out in an hour or so and start clearing snow. Looking like a cool week, but have mulberry, ash & elm in the stove.

    Look like we got a few inches of snow overnight, now it is in he upper teens and very windy. This will be a good day to enjoy a nice fire in the hearth.

    The 10 day forecast looks pretty snowy and cold here.
