My piles are covered in snow now. I have about a day's worth of dry wood indoors prior to the snow in preparation for this. In the meantime, I brought in a bunch of snow covered wood and piled it up around the stove to dry out and warm up. I think being in close proximity to the stove for 24 hours should dry it out enough. Anyone else employ this technique? The smart thing to do would be to tarp the stacks, but since I didn't, this will have to do for the time being. On a positive note, the extra moisture from the wood will add to the room. I don't imagine it'll take long to dry.
