Free Firewood Day cancelled

[Wood Duck]

I thought the ice storm was going to mean today was Free Firewood Day, the best day of the year for scrounging firewood right off of everyones driveway. At least in the State College, PA area, it doesn't seem to be Free Firewood Day. We got only 1/4 or so of ice here, and the trees all seem pretty much intact. The upside is that the power is still on here, which probably means it is on throughout this area. The ice is already melting here.

Our trees were thawing early this morning. It was a sound our puppy had not heard yet and got her excited. I'm glad the ice was minimal and I can wait for better weather and ground conditions to go get my free wood sometime next month.
But, appears everything will freeze over tonight...should be fun getting out of our 1/4mile long lane to the paved road in the morning. Phil didn't see his shadow so I'm holding him to the early spring prediction.

No major damage here either. Lost power twice yesterday 3:30-4:40 and 5:00-6:35 but after that it was just a few flickers here and there.

Bet you have another round coming 53 mph winds last night and headed east....Roads have atleast 2 inchs of ice on them. The high winds seem to have dryed up alot of the ice on the tree's but there is plunty out there to cut.

The storm was a bit of a dud here, too. I woke up to 42 degree temperatures and only a layer of ice on my driveway...roads were fine, nothing on the trees. I'm glad my three remaining giant Silvers are still upright, but I can't help but feel a bit let down!

I am little more east, near the 80 81 junction and there was hardly any ice, power loss was not an issue, glad about that.

I'm in the southeast, and I was surprised that there was no snow from this storm. We've had so many snows, more than I can remember since I've lived in Nashville this year. Good luck to everyone up north, especially Chicago!

I got a 20" x 9 foot section of oak, five oak branches all 5"+ in dia, a bunch of locust and pine limbs. Should be a good start.

If the trees lost branches here, then I can't tell because they are buried under about 30 feet of snow (give or take 28.5ft)

Had to abort a trip down a back road today for a 30 inch dbh Red Oak. Going to try and play politics tomorrow and see what I can get out of it.
