Hey! You NorthEasterners!

Its nice to share, got some cold to, just pay separate shipping and handleing

I'm about to need to go dig out my next and hopefully last cord of wood for the season. Buried under several feet of snow currently. Have about a weeks worth stashed in my garage, but the current -4 temp outside is not motivating me to go dig it out just yet haha.

I just got back from a week's long vacation in SC and it was 12* the day we left, snow all the way down to central NC. Seems there's no relief along the east coast. But hey at least we can wear shorts and t-shirts inside, right!

Got a load from my stacks at a friend's house yesterday! Glad I did!

Please mark snow - return to sender BOSTON area.

Yeah it's New England. Get use to it or move to Florida. I love it. All spring and summer you prepare for it. Winter is a beast and you have to be ready. 72 degrees inside 17 outside with lows below zero tonight. Let the faucet drip so it doesn't freeze and wait for spring.

Lol - wife did a good job on that pathway , does she have a sister ?

Forks on the tractor weren't strong enough to lift the pallet of wood. Because I put long metal roofing sheets on them.. and there's 3 feet of packed down snow on top of them. I've got 6 pallets left. That's about 30 days. I might have to GASP.. let the oil kick in. It's that.. or shovel off the pallets.

That's what I did yesterday, my nice oak was buried under a 4 foot snow drift but I got it out and restacked.

The years wood under my deck is done. So today I dug out a 50 foot path to stacks. Actually went better than I thought. About a foot and a half of snow. I did a one snow shovel wide path. Just enough for the wheel barrow. Actually it would save one wood move if I worked off the stacks but since the first year I did that we had three feet on the ground I now move the years wood close to the house.

3 points of contact. My employer preaches that to us a lot, especially this time of year, mounting and dismounting equipment. Hope you are ok

In the wise words of George Carlin, if you don't like the weather where you are now, MOVE!

It's winter, it snows, you have to shovel/blow it. March and April are historically the two snowiest months of the year where I live, so the coldest temps are behind me, but I will likely see another 200-250 inches fall before the snow season is over. Looking forward to it.

Save your back. Get one of those molded plastic kids' sleds and bring the wood in with that.

GETTING HARD TO GET TO THE STACKS

This is all your cold crap your sending over hear, we don't want it anymore!
34 today felt like spring... sad

I feel guilty in Seattle. Crocuses, hyacinths, primrose, rhododendrons, camellias and cherry trees are all blooming now. Tulips will start blooming in the next week or two. No snow last winter, and none so far this winter. Stay warm, east coasters.

Well, you should feel guilty!

Boston has the really hideous snow problem, those of us a bit further north are going mad from the never-ending cold. In Vermont -- Vermont! -- several municipal water systems have had broken water mains, and we ordinary home owners are having frozen pipes, including in heating systems, who've never had them in 40 years living in the same house. Structures and the ground are now so totally deeply frozen at this point, it's affecting pipes that otherwise have no trouble in a typical winter And there's literally no relief in sight. We've got more double-digit below zero overnight temps coming up in the next week.. Neither my oil boiler nor my woodstove can cope, so I'm having to run them both to keep the house temp within range of 70. Soon my high-btu wood will be gone, and I"ll have to fork over some more dollars to the oil company to get through to the warmer side of spring.

Shhhh . . . no one tell my wife . . . I am secretly loving this winter. It kinda came late (well actually it came on time, but then the snow melted and then the snow came back and then melted and then it came back and just has kept coming.) . . . I am loving life with the snowmobile. My wife meanwhile is close to going stir crazy.
