    Bingo! We got another day or two of sunshine. Usually at this time of year we start getting more like this and it makes people happy; especially me! Now if we could gain another 30 or 40 degrees it would really be super nice! Freezing rain predicted for Wednesday.... :hair:

    20f and sunny might need to fire up the Weber do more ribs . Search holzafforma G070 now there's a chip maker . Everyone needs one in their arsenal.
    Don't let weight shock you it's all about the chips.
    Crazy looking saw. Even being a Husky guy I would buy one. Has that old school flair. Oak slabs are burning .

    I don't think they were calling for it, but we've gotten at least 5"-6" of snow since this morning. Temps in the low 20s. You got the same Canadian border VT?

    I'll be going out too when it stops, or it gets dark, whichever comes first. It might not stop.....

    I took pictures as the snow moved out. I'd like a better camera for shots like these. The smart phone doesn't do any justice!

    We have turned a corner despite the impending snow.

    It started out cold this morning, in single digits, but calm. The moon and moonlight on the horizon in the north sky was incredible prior to sunrise.

    Then around 9 am the sun started to warm the shanty, so I had to turn down the stove to low. When I went outside at 10AM it was brilliant sunshine, with a blue sky, no wind, and the radiant warmth of the sun made me hot enough to strip down a tee-shirt and wool shirt for shanty removal which involved a lot of chiseling, prying, pushing and winching with a come-along. I had the truck windows open and my cap off to cool down for ride across the lake..sunglasses were needed for an intense glare off the snow.

    20 here, took a few inches of snow between last night and today.. It fell slow and fluffy, so it can stay. Rain coming mid week, so that'll take care of it. I was just beginning to think that we didn't have enough bloody ice around here anyway.

    Pine and Sugar maple keeping the house temp at 74. Switching to ash and Sugar for overnight.

    I can hear the deck boards popping. The temps must be taking a crash dive!

    24 here. Low of 17 tonight. Ash burning, 75 inside. It will be a sad day when all the ash trees are gone.
