digging out the woodpile

For some reason digging out the woodpile gave me more energy than doing the walk and digging out my car.What about you ?

I will let you know when I dig out my storage building that has my dry wood in it, maybe tomorrow, got to tired today to do it but I have wood on covered entry way so I don;t have to worry for a bit.

Last big snow my area had was 23 inches. I didn't mind blowing out the driveway and the mound of snow at the end of it, but digging out the wood pile absolutely wore me out.

I guess you folks in Virginia missed what we just got.I was digging through 3 foot snows with 5 foot drifts.That wood pile kept calling me.If i delayed and that snow froze I'd need a jack hammer to get through it

Stack my wood on the back porch that has a deck over top and a tarp over the deck. No digging wood out here. I walk out the back door a couple steps to the pile, grab splits, walk back in to insert. Works great fro me.

Wow Bart us folks up here would never think Virginia could look like that.It makes you think that maybe the states are slowly turning into the north pole.

Lots of powder . . . blown around a lot . . . even ended up with a fair amount inside my woodshed . . . pretty unusual.

Got 30 inches plus out here. Wife made sure enough wood in the house for 2 days. Also keep a 7-10 day supply on the front porch which was weather protected. Now that the cars and driveway are cleared tomorrow will blaze a path to the mother wood pile!

28 inches of snow with 4 foot drifts. Week of wood in the basement and another 3 weeks under the deck. Plans to build a shed this spring/summer for lawn equipment and wood. Will make for easier winters (less moving of wood) and a cleaner garage

Brought a couple weeks worth in before the storm. Spent too much time yesterday just trying to get the driveway cleared. I will get to the wood pile later because today is tree tapping day! More fires to play with just around the corner!

I brought all my wood inside in October.

I brought in about 2 weeks worth of wood into the house just so i didnt have to dig out. Hopefully most of it will be melted by then. We are expecting some rain later this week so hopefully that will help with the melt.

How much gas did you have on had when the power went off? I try to keep a fair amount for the gen just in case, but it is a pain trying to keep it fresh. Just curious. The last really bad storm we had, I did without a generator. Just my wood stove for heat.

I brought a weeks worth in the day before the storm, didnt think we'd get as buried as we did, ended up with 29" here and huge drifts. I did snow blow a path to the pile so I can get at the wood but still have to deal with snow on the tarps, last year for tarps for me too, Im building solid roof sheleters for at least 4 cords this spring.
Anyone hear from Raybonz? His area got hit the hardest with high winds and power outages.

I am able to stack about a cord and a half under my deck. Even so the wind blew quite a bit of snow up ender there...maybe a foot or so. Enough so the wife complained about getting the wood in her slippers!
