We had some cold windy weather on Friday, but Saturday was in the 40's and Subnday in the 50's. Rain all day Monday with temps in the 40's going to 60 mid week. Other than keeping the garage filled with dry wood not much new here working a lot and ready for spring. We have not burned through much wood this year but I'm looking forward to processing a lot this spring and summer.

I spent some time today moving snow just off the driveway where I plow the snow when using the RTV to some snow storage areas in the woods.

We still have a few other areas I move snow to that still have plenty of room depending on how March goes.

I think we received around 7 inches of snow, I used the 4540 opening up the driveway and then the RTV cleaning up certain areas on the driveway and plowing about five trails so the wife can get her walking in.

I'm glad that I moved that snow off the driveway the other day.

We have not had any snow just rain and slush. Temps have not been bad just windy. I have been working a lot lately. 6-7 tens. Other than keeping the garage filled not much different here just waiting for spring and wanting to start cutting wood. My brother has over 150, 8-10 logs of maple, hickory, and beech that I ready to work on.

The work at your brothers will keep use busy. I'll wait and see what we get from this storm and then start on some dead standing pine until the hills lose the snow and ice.

With the rain we received and then the freeze up after, most of the driveway was all ice. Before I sanded the driveway, I used the bucket and shaved some ice off.

I used six bags of sand on the driveway and two more on some paths leading to the woods the wife uses when walking the dog.

In picture 0626 I'm getting ready to shave some ice off, 0627 is after the shaving, 0628 is the sander after two bags were put in and 0629 is after I finished sanding the driveway.

I moved a bunch of snow off the driveway again today, once the weather warms up the water runs down the driveway on the southside to the area I removed the snow from. This should help the water from running across the driveway on the corner.
