Nice work Sav, I was looking at that saw in the shop last week just looking. It looks like you have perfect working conditions, send some of that this way.

Those ash will be no problem dropping. And for sure, limbing those spruce should be done with a small saw. Really saves the body and I actually think it goes faster with the small saw.

Our 1-2" last night never came nor has the 1-3" today. Now they've cut down to 3-7" tonight but it does not look that way to me. It will have to grow a lot to amount to anything. More predicted tomorrow. I think this is another case of crying, "Wolf!"

Come on snow the mushrooms need it.

Just came in from plowing the driveway and the trails to the wood stacks, I think we had 5-6 inches of light snow last night which is still falling. Just having a coffee then maybe a bite to eat then hit the driveway again later on, maybe push some wood in before the nasty stuff hits.( If it does?)

Since we bought the pulley setup for the Moose Plow it works great, I'll call my neighbor to see if his is done, maybe plow another neighbor in just for fun!;)
 
Don't hit any more trees zap! We got about 6 inches or so. Driveway is done with the blower. Sun is peeking out as well ! :)
 
Never hit them, maybe a wood stack, not a tree!:eek: I'm not sure how much more we'll get today but I just saw on TV that we'll get 2-4 inches overnight, looks like a total of 6-12 for us.

Looks like we are getting out of it fairly easy so far at my place. It is hard to tell with the wind blowing everything around, but I don't think we have any more than 4-5 inches here.
 
I could go out and fill it back in with snow!

Maybe tomorrow. Sun is about to set and I'm already sitting. Besides, the temp is falling and I don't want to.

I don't blame you. The wife cooked up some Chili with some Venison that a friend gave us, some nice homemade bread to go with it.

Pay no attention to zap Dennis, he's still upset about the rhino and wood piles! :p

How does tomorrow around 11am sound? I think Pete is coming as well.

I just got off the phone with Sav, he just came in from plowing in your Pine, tell Pete to bring a shovel.
 
I'm sure ol Backwoods did a fine job clearing a lane to the pine. I bet he DIDN'T even hit any wood piles zap. Maybe he can write down a few pointers for ya? :p
