Don't imagine I am the only one that is braving the bad weather to check for wood following the storm. Didn't have to go far for the first offering either- White Oak at the end of my drive has lost a big limb and will likely have more trimmed out of it to remove the bad limb. Lots of stuff down. Scrounging time!
Ice storm or firewood storm?

We got minimal ice . . . all early AM. So now TWC claims the wind speeds should be 9 . . . I just came inside and it's prolly 20 sustained with gusts over 30
Good thing we didn't get the ice, we'd be outta' power now.

Lots of stuff down here. Not too many trees but decent limbs all over the place. I spent the better part of the day cutting limbs so customers could get out of the driveways and clear the sidewalks. Not much wood really but pays the bills none the less. I'm sure if I tried I could get lots of big stuff but salting and plowing are enough work for me right now. Back out again tomorrow at 3am since we got another good coating of snow this afternoon. 60 tons of salt down and 20 more delivered today.
We have a lot of stuff down from the last storm. Several neighbors have downed limbs. I am going to help them out! Will also make a circle of the surrounding area.
Looked at the wood that was down as I cut it up and determined it was Ash. I thought I had memorized the species that were around the property based on location, but that one was not what I recalled. I'll take the Ash though.
