One of my piles of "too bigs". All of it is ready to go this year, or will be. Alot of pine coming in, which makes me smile.

The work horse. I'll have atleast 2 more rows on the back deck. That's my emergency / stacks incrusted in ice / can't get to stacks due to snow, etc emergency pile. It becomes my main stacks from March to whenever I stop burning.

Sounds like a good plan. I also keep a decent stack pretty close, just in case...
 
Looks like you're ready to rumba!
 
I am ready to rumble.

Lookin good Dixie......
 
I checked with Dix today and the stacks fortunately didn't go underwater in the deluge they had on LI yesterday. A few miles from her they would have.
 
Bloody mess here yesterday. 20 miles to the west got slammed.
 
I am in East Islip, Long Island. We got hammered. The town about 2 miles to the west of us got 13' yesterday, so we probably got as much or close. No flooding by my house, but Main St in Islip was underwater. This is probably my first post, so Hi everyone. I'll have one big MoFo of a post in a couple weeks regarding a free wood delivery and subsequent need for a 25' wide, 7.5' deep, 7' high wood shed that as of today is about 90% finished.

Welcome to the forums !!!!!

It was not pretty here yesterday !

Feel real bad for the family with the dog that got washed away. Sad.

The ground has been so dry, no way it could handle that pounding.

Gotta love that! ==c We got a couple of cords for my wife's cuz over the last couple days, just grabbing stuff that's dead and ready to go. Earlier this year I got maybe four cords for my two SILs, from behind their houses...dry as a bone. At some point though, you use all that easy stuff up and, around here anyway, you have to start burning the ubiquitous Red Oak. I need to be two years out on everybody's stash by then... :oops:

Welcome, t1! :) We've gotten a couple rains like that over the years but not lately. Hard for anyplace to handle that kind of volume over a day or two.
 
We missed that storm down here but that's rare. Seems like we usually get slammed with a Noah's Ark type of storm at least once a summer.
