Ready for the Deep Freeze

[thewoodlands]

Tonight we brought in two loads of cherry and some sugar maple. It's a crisp night out at -5 but nice to work in, attached are some pictures of the rhino backed up to the wood, the moon and cutting down some sugar maple for n/s loading.

The last picture is the first sugar maple I cut down. (half of what we brought in tonight and the second load of sugar maple this week)

Seriously, I hope this isnt a prelude of weather to come this winter. I watched an episode of I shouldn't be alive and saw how this group of hunters and guides had to endure a few nights at -40f. No thank you. I threw a few extra logs on the fire and awoke to a house at 71 with outside temps in the single digits.

I saw that episode, the snow was deep too and nothing to make a fire with. Who knew Afghanistan got so cold.

Zap,

It's funny you and I are only a few hours away from one another, but in the winter we live on two different planets. It's 17* here and crystal clear. I heard it's been snowing on you since Saturday. Good thing you're well prepared for the snow.

Great pics Zap! using the Rhino, in the snow, to haul firewood. Doesn't get much better than that.

Hopefully that freezing rain nonsense they are talking about for the weekend ends up being snow. A couple inches of ice on top of our recent snow going into the deep freeze would suck.

Yes, just the Sugar Maple and Beech that I cut before we even thought about buying a stove.

It just doesn't make sence that it would warm up ?

Wow, those are some chilly temps!

 

[smokinj]

If thats all you got your going to freeze! lol

 

[firefighterjake]

What's the glowing object in the pics . . . Christmas decoration? At first I thought it was a fire in a pit.

Skier76, if we didn't have the rhino for bringing in the wood I probably wood be ten pounds lighter from pushing the wheelbarrow.

Zap where in NY are you that is going to be -23 is that *C?
I'm in North Western Vermont about 15 miles south of the Canadian border and they're forecasting low single digits. Granted we are in the Champlain Valley near the lake so it tempers things a bit... Are you in the Saranac Lake area? They are always 10-15* colder than the rest of the region.
It was a crisp 5*F outside last night when i went to bed, with the stove room at 80*F... Four huge Sugar Maple splits cooking away - had to dip into the cold weather stash.

Northern New York / Town of Colton was forecast for -23 to -26 that is with the windchill factor for Mon. and Tues. but looking at it today the forecast has changed already. Looks like Tuesday with the windchill - 15 that is a big change (good one) in one day.
