    Is to get all of my rounds out of the woods before the snow falls. Property is too steep to be safe if theres and snow or ice. 3" tonight and 10+ for weds into thurs. i have only processed less than a cord since the fall. On a better note, 2014/15 stack is looking great!

    I hope not. Warren county overlooking the delware, north side of the mountain. Stuff dont melt without the sun. When they say 1-3" we get every bit of 3. And i heard calling of double digits later in the week. Bank on the side of my lane is well over 2' high and its 50% narrowed. Good thing its so steep off the edge so plow pushes it down the hill. I know it aint a lot of snow compared to other places but i grew up on the other side of the state where the snow would be all melted after a couple of days. Next month will be two years in this house and still figuring everything out. Starting to see a few flakes coming down now...

    14/15 stack looking real good !

    If you get the wood in & split /stacked this spring.
    Won't it be seasoned enough for 15/16 ? (is it red oak ?)

    My 15/16 stack is behind the 14/15 one!
    Got another addition to the family coming mid april and wanted to be done with processing by then, well my other half would really like it done. It will will be half oak and def ready by 16/17. I double stack on pallets. The side that gets the sun is oak and the north side black birch and locust.

    I am the same way 90% of where I cut is steep hills. Once it gets muddy or slick its a no go! Heck half the time I can't even get a 4 wheel drive tractor on the hills without them sliding off. I have been in some precarious situations that made me say never again. I'm not as young and dumb as I once was lol

    Duhh you told me before, you weren't too far north! Sorry my memory sucks. We got a quick 2" last night between 6 and 9pm and im not liking what they're forecasting for wed into thurs. But i'll worry about that on wed. These 2am wake up calls are gettin reallllly old.

    By the time it gets to you we may snowpacalypse 2.0 here - a mixed bag for tonight everyone stocking up for milk-sandwiches.
    Under 3" two weeks ago shut down the whole state nearabouts. I made the mistake of going to work and getting stuck there for ~50hrs cause all my sorry azz coworkers "couldn't drive" to work

    Yeah, that's the canadien model, the European is coming in a little different and the American models are out to sea more. I think we get hit but how much and how bad are yet to be determined, I think youse guys in Joisey will get it good.

    No. 7 "There's No Jersey Accent — You're Just Pronouncing It Wrong
    I, for the life of me, don't understand why everyone else pronounces Mario incorrectly. There aren't three As and two Rs. Just say the name right, already. And why the hell does everyone else pronounce it "Noo Joisey"? Why do they say "Joisey" at all? No one in their right mind would ever pronounce the state's name in such a way. It goes against the NJ Code of Pronunciation Ethics I just made up. Only people from Brooklyn would consider saying that. It's basically the equivalent of calling the cast of "The Jersey Shore" true New Jerseyans — when everyone and their mom knows they are from Staten Island."

    I used to drive 50 miles to work and we'd get that from guys that lived a few miles away.

    Or I'd get called at around 6:30 when I was nearly pulling into the parking lot... "Hey... Don't come in to work the roads are too bad".
