Going to be a cold weekend here. Single digit temps on Saturday for a high, I filled the garage back up stoves working hard this winter.
 
Cleared out 3 garden beds. Fed the blueberries. Mowed for the second time this year.
Mowed?!?! I plowed and snowblowed today. Hadn't done it for the last several 1-2" snowfalls so it needed it... Much nicer without a bunch of material & equipment laying around and not having to do the slab and surrounding area.

Also hauled in a couple of tote barrels of aspen to warm up and dry off. Much better burning after 3-5 days inside instead of 1.
 
Doing fall work here since there's no winter. I should be fully stocked with wood before I'm done burning this year...
There's a ton of free blow down just up the mountain.

Crazy weather. This is the winter that wasn't.

This is the winter that is here.
Real feel -11F now at 4P....... 35MPH winds sustained.
Can't have any exposed skin, just in from walking the dogs. Needed goggles and face covering which we did not have.
 
I brought in one wheelbarrow more of wood.
40+ mph wind, 10 F. Wind-chill of -8.
Was not very warm :-)
Did find a few locust splits tho, so that's good.
 
Past 2 days I've spent in the woodyard. Processed 2 face cords of old rounds and limb wood. Hardwoods and some soft maples. Tossed all down into the lair and closed it up. Spent all night dancing with the dragon while clearing out the entry. Finished moving the wood down there a couple hours ago. Closed everything up tight and turned on the box fan.

Ate lasagna for dinner, and now it's time to feed the dragon again then, take the dog out for a walk. I wish he wasn't a darn fence hopper or I'd let him run out in the pen.
