Who ready for winter to be over?

I’m ready for the spring/summer

 

This is the first taste of winter we have had in a while. Weatherman 6-10” more snow coming tomorrow. We have 9-10” on the ground now. The wife, kids and myself are excited about more snow!! We hope the weather man is right.update, 10-14”!!

 

Bring on Spring! Older I get, the more I hate Winter

 

Last year winter hung on here well into April. I have no illusions, and am ready to ride it out.

 

I’m enjoying it

 

Still enjoying the cold weather here, but we haven’t had enough snowfall to prevent me from being able to get in the woods. Some of the members are pretty well snowed in and my opinion may be different if that were the case! Spring will be here soon enough!

 

I'm still enjoying the relative quiet compared to the circus that comes with spring. The wind has kept me out of the woods though. My log yard is getting depleted & the weather has made for difficult working conditions the past couple weekends, but it won't be this cold too much longer. I do not like the heat & humidity at all, so in short I'm hoping it stays a bit yet.

 

I dont mind the cold temps or working in them, i just tire of snow cover as it stops/limits what i can do wood wise. The frozen dry ground we had in January was great. Barely had any last year and it was a mud fest.

 

This winter isn't bothering me as much as ones in the past. I'm getting older quickly and starting to wish time would just slow down, better or worse. And it seems things are staying clean and white and not a dirty sloppy puddle laden mess. Ask me about it again in a couple three weeks or so and my opinion might be different.

 

Yes. I’m at least ready for temps in the 20s or 30s. This high of 3 degrees for three weeks sucks.

Not me, with spring comes bugs and mud. Then heat and humidity after. I’d rather deal with the cold!

 

Real winter weather just started around the end of January here so I’m ready alright.....for more snow!!!

 

My niece has been in charge of finding homes for them. However, I am sure that she has not gotten much accomplished, yet. They are 7/8 Black Lab and about 1/8 Husky.

Most are female. I only have two males left, and I will probably keep one of them. The other is already spoken for, I think. It would have to be a female if he wanted one. Pennsylvania's a long ways off, how would you get one to him?

 

I can only burn super dry sugar maple, bitternut hickory, or rock elm without guilt when the temperatures are below 15 deg F. I "hoard" wood which can lock on my furnace blower on the coldest mornings. It seems a waste to burn such "hot" wood above 20 deg F and so I burn oak, elm, and ash on mild winter days. I few weeks of winter COLD saves me a lot of guilt and I can gloat over hoarding the "hot" wood.

Gloating ends after a few weeks and we get tired of being inside. A return to the 20's feels so nice and so we get out to hike. Winter works for us as long as the COLD does not last too long. One more week of gloating and then the weather will be nice enough to hike.

 

Winter doesn't bother me that much, except it creates extra work that has to be done, and cost more money for feed. The other thing is, I live on a mountain with a steep climb, and requires good tires and 4WD, not mention a little skill and guts to navigate it. I have seen it whip out four wheel drives under the worst of conditions. Right now we have a layer of ice under powder snow, and it can get a little dicey especially if you meet some one coming from the other direction. And some of neighbors are sorry ice and snow drivers.

 

Would love to see pics of the pups.

 

Ok, I will take a picture of them, here in a little while, next time I go out to check on them, and post it here.
