Snowy and ice covered logs

I have a horizontal splitter and the logs keep sliding and bouncing all over the place. other than waiting for spring, any suggestions?

 

Take it slow getting the "blade" into the wood.
Then, should be gooder to go.
I've got a bunch of Oak that's covered in ice and snow that I need to get split too.
Or, you could wait for spring......I don't like that option though.

 

It never seemed to be a problem for me and my hydraulic splitter. The wood didn't slip out of place. The splitter worked normally in frozen wood as with dry wood. When it is 20 degrees F or below, the wood snaps apart crisply.

After I was done, I've tried to wipe and blow the accumulated moisture off the splitter so it wouldn't rust.

 

I have the split second log splitter, so slow is not an option. I guess i will keep trying.

 

for those of us with hydraulic splitters I like parking my splitter in the garage over night to get the fluid above freezing. Just makes it easy for the motor and pump.

 

I kinda like when the pieces are a little icy in winter, they move around a little easier for me.
The still split the same

 

How about jamming it into the wedge first, then hit the whammo lever?

 

Yes. Now I see your issue. Any way to warm the wood - Is it in your truck bed, trailer, etc that would allow to get it into a garage?
