    The ground is pretty solid around here, I couldn't guarantee heavy equiptment wouldn't sink. But I've been driving down back with 6" of snow on the frozen ground and hauling pick up truck loads of logs and was fine.

    Good luck on this. I think one reason is the type of ground and yours is much more solid. Where this guy got stuck it is all sand and that is some very wet sand. In some spots when wet enough it can turn almost to quicksand.

    Wind chill running around 35 below
    White Spruce in the stove.
    It Really blew last night. Got a fair sized drift behind my truck. I'll wait till it stops blowing to dig the truck out.

    Cold and sunny today and will definitely be burning a lot of beech through tomorrow (in the purple section of the map that is projected to have some of the coldest temps on earth tomorrow).

    That purple bubble needs a google map back to Canada or further North since it’s technically in Canada.

    Looks like I’ll be on the one small fire per night schedule. I haven’t used 10% of the wood I used last year.
