    Cherry and red maple getting er done here. 31 dropping only to 26, with some powdery snow falling. I believe we're in the 4-8" band last time I looked.

    -edit- almost hit the deck heading out to the garage. Forgot there's still a layer of ice on most of the driveway! Just had a co-worker go down with a broken leg last night from slipping on the ice.

    That short lived squall was barely measurable....maybe less than an inch.

    For the season, we're behind schedule once again with only 10 feet so far.

    I'll have to measure tomorrow, I think it's less than 20" now since we have had sun for a few days.

    Where are you? I'm assuming that you are somewhere along the Wakefield to Houghton shore given the snow fall

    Looking at -25 C feels -30 C or -13 F feels -22 F, with it dropping a few more degrees overnight. Poplar same as always. Wood shed looking pretty bare, as I didn't count on this year being quite so chilly.

    My wood shed is looking a bit slim also. Going to need 2 more cord of wood to get thru this winter. It's going to be Some work to get it. Most of the dead standing , available land has been picked fairly clean.

    It’s started snowing here about an hour ago and now it’s picked up big time. Didnt see any snow in the forcast until tomorrow morning so its here now. dropping to teens tonight likely looks like perfect storm. Oak and alder in Miss October.
    Daughter enjoying Sofia the First in her jammies, Papa having coffee after a morning walk in the snow and the dog is outside. Currently at 33°F

    Its -14c/7f here and some larch in the stove this morning. Do you have any stacks in the yard you can pull from?

    A little wood and 10lbs of coal.
    Half refilled the wood room yesterday. Mostly oak,hickory, maple. Kinda bad timing as the next week is looking like high40-50s and low in the 30s at nite. Prolly burn more coal or pane. The wood will just cook me out at 40+

    I think I have 3.5? cord on the other side of the fence, but not too much is seasoned, and that was slated for next winter. I haven't gone out this winter at all to grab wood for a top off. If the weather warms up to that -5 high and -15 low range, I should make out alright.
