Rain and Wind = Firewood

Actually I hope this stays east of us but if we get hit I'll take some beech blow down! :vampire:

I wonder how much faster wood dries when its blowing 50 mph?

It depends on it's direction.

I'm not sure but it sure is nice, been burning some three year old cherry that has been in the wind and sun for three months after being stacked in the woods. (Nice)

Our stacks are on the north & east side of the house with the prevailing wind coming from the west, the wood is stacked north - south so the face of the stacks get the wind and sun.

You have a low out your way that is coming our way which might give us snow for next week, please keep that! ;-)


We might have some snow this week or it could go south of us, last year the first snow fell on Dec 10. if I remember from looking at the pictures the other night.

We've put the snow on hold for a while yet so it will just pass over us and head your way to dump all of it.

It seems that this year every rainstorm brings 50mph winds. weird.

Last winter we lucked out, every storm went north or south of us and the same for the wind storms this summer. We will see what this winter brings.

I have about a cord of wood from our last big storm, most of it in my backyard. I have about another 1 - 1 1/2 cord to go cut tomorrow at work. Apparently the boss dose not like the look of the a few leaners near an access road. Free firewood while I work. Love my job.

This could bring the first snow fall for the higher elevations in SoVT. I'm pretty excited. :coolsmile:

I need to stack more wood so a couple more weekends would be nice without snow.

Good luck with that. Our roof was covered with ice when we woke up Sunday morning. It would be nice if we got a month or two of frozen ground without snow pack though.

I'm setting up 2-3 more stacking areas this weekend which will give us room for 16-18 more face cords.

6 more cord before the snow flies? I love your ambition.

No, I would be happy with 6 face cord.
