Whyyyyyyy. Throw that right in your stove! It'll burn. You can come up with a contraption or two for blowing air on it and mixing in some pine needles, PALLET WOOD, match sticks, paper, plastic (oil), etc. Then make a video about how to burn iced over wood! Be careful though Pete. Don't want you to start anything else on fire!
I'd get some pics Pete but all our wood is under some big old pine trees waiting to deliver some ice.
I feel for you guys getting that. We're just getting a few inches of snow and if I look at the radar in motion, it should be done within a couple hours. Might wait just a bit to plow, so I don't have to go back over it again.
Spent 2 hours plowing and I'm not done. Got the turn around and part of the drive up alongside the shop, done, then went back on the path to the wood stacks. I'm already running out of places to put snow. If we get as much as we already have, next month, I'll be parking in the road.
How much snow cover you got up there? I'm heading to Traverse City after the first and was curious. Never really been up north in winter before. GF got a weekend at Grand Traverse Bay Resort. Classy joint, hopefully they'll let me in.
Here in Missouri, we have 1/2" of ice on the deck but only a light coating of snow. Just enough to have have a little traction. Before the snow you needed studs on your shoes to walk. Normally we have fertilizer to put on the ice but alas my daughter use it up this summer in her garden & I didn't realize it.
We've got about 12", I'd guess. TC, I'm sure, has more. I've plowed several times this month already.
As someone that doesn't have a wood shed, I hate ice storms. Rain and snow come and go, but ice just lingers.
I went into town today to get a few things at the store. If my truck was a 4x4 and not iced into the pole barn I could scrounge a cord or more easy without going more than a mile from my house. Chances are it will be there come nicer weather.
Keep in mind that the snow depth varies a lot around Traverse City. Especially on the east side of the bay. I well remember many times having a couple feet of snow on the west side of TC then go through Acme and they'd have 2 or 3 inches at most. Then heading east from there toward Kalkaska, the snow depth again gets really deep.
And I thought it sucked seeing all the snow melt away. I'm sure glad we didn't get that. I remember ice storms when I was a kid going to high school. My dad had me park in the street and I'd be out there trying to chip that stuff off the window because I'm late for class. I learned after a few times, hot water melts it quick, I later learned hot water is also not good for ice frozen over glass. Are you expecting some warmer temps to melt that off or will it there a while?
Andy, Saturday is forecast to be 35 but that is the only thawing day. Next week they say will be the coldest.
We'll after a long night of crashing ice we have this! Ice cubes everywhere and man did they fall we heard them nonstop all night hitting windows and everything in there path.
