You know zap we ht 50 where I work today how ridicules is that! I drove in on Icy roads and went home with the window down :exclaim: Pete
Thanks Pete1983. Sure is crazy weather, the driving on ice sucks, I have come across two accidents in January (one guy lost his life) so I'll take the window down with 50 degree weather.
I think we will get that cold air from the artic with some Lake effect snow, one storm in Feb. and one in March.

Its too bad someone died I guess thats the risk we all take. I drive 65 miles round trip every day and I have lost count at this point of the accidents we see every year on the way to work. Luckily we have not had very many this year.
I am suspecting it will snow in August at the rate we are going in Michigan %-P

No junk wood harvesting for me, I was having a great time this weekend skidding Sugar Maple out of the woods at the farm.

Yes I have. I bucked quite a bit at work, but unfortunately its to muddy, and don't want to tear up the grounds (nice grass leading to woods). I have a huge oak to fell with a good buddy in the spring (he was in the tree felling industry for many years) and I am waiting for a permit from the bureau of forestry to take standing dead, laying dead, and live trees they want removed. Will start working on a large black locust that I found in my woods as soon as my trailer for the quad arrives (tomorrow...woohoo; score from craigslist, simple craftsman 14cuft with dump)
I drove to work today with the window down too. Hit 15*... felt like T shirt weather compared to the -20* doo doo we had all last week.

Sounds great, I do remember your post about it being wet. Looks like the temp will drop down to 19 tomorrow so the trails here should be good to go. I think Saturday I'll head back in to buck up some good pine thats down.

zap, not sure why, but the theme from "Mission Impossible" popped into my head when I saw this. I know it's not, just seems all stealthy and stuff. :coolsmile:
Nothing like being prepared, eh?

PapaDave, at night in the woods gives it that stealthy feeling, it's what we can't see but they can see us. All the crunching you can hear but not see, usually just deer.
mywaynow, glad we brought the wood in last night because we received a good amount of rain overnight, stacks that we are using this year are topped covered but are drenched with water, I'm thinking a good three to four days inside will dry them out.
It should be frozen again by Friday, going down to 16 tonight.

Like Pete, we enjoyed the 50 degree day. At one point our thermometer hit 55 degrees yesterday. A bit cooler today but not bad. No freeze last night either. Very strange weather....
Does anyone remember the winter forecast given out by accuweather. We live in the area that was supposed to see the worst of winter. I guess the other areas are just warmer than us....

All my years living in michigan, this has been the least amount of snow i can recently think of, when I was a child growing up we had weeks of school off in a row, no kidding weeks
, because the snow storms just kept coming literally one after the other. My mother has pics of me and my brother sitting on 15-20 ft drifts of snow. A giant cat bulldozer eventually freed us from frozen solitude. As for accuweather I wonder sometimes if they are swayed by ratings, the news of a terrible winter is sure to draw in more viewers than them announcing a mild warm winter with little snow, I hope I'm wrong but these days nothing suprises me to much anymore
