    It was a very cold winter up here in the foothills of the Adirondacks.

    The highs and lows are getting higher so it's just a matter of time before I start cutting.

    I made my way down to the entrance to the woods, after making my way in, (not far) I made my way out, it might be another two weeks depending on the melt.

    He is correct Dave. Our lowest was -26. One other night it was -21. Both times our water pump froze but we caught it in time so no damage.

    The only difference is that -26 was the all-time lowest in some spots but not in others. Our coldest here was -29 but I do not remember the date. I do remember the cold.

    OUCH
    Hard to go out & breath at those temps.
    Your winter was more brutal than the news reported,
    they were sensationalizing snow fall ,
    Seems to be the pattern still, East is cold, West is above average temps.

    37° for the low temp here last night :)

    But believe it or not Dave, we burned much less wood this year than last. It was average for us based on the amount of wood burned.
