Getting Tired Of Fighting The Fight This Winter ...

[Retired Guy]

Spring has arrived EARLY

What is spring?

 

[kniffin50]

33 with spotty sun, dug my toe of my boot into some mud in the driveway, did 2 miles out back in snow shoes but my top layer consisted of shorts and a T-chit. (Over the under armor)

You can feel the sun, snow conditions are changing for the first time, we're definitely rounding the corner!

Nice pics,one of my favorite states to go to.

I let the PE go out today to clean the boost baffle, and clean out the ash.

I took a bucket full of ash out of the back of the box, easily 3 splits worth. Wondered why I was having a hard time relighting the stove, then I realized I was going from a cold start for the first time in 8 weeks

The fight continues, but the battle changes. Next up my deck. Not looking forward to it. That 10' pile is hiding my deck.

It was pretty warm here today... or at least felt that way. The sun was out, snow was melting a little bit.. maybe high 30s? Supposed to be in the 40s all next week

Pot holes and frost heaves . . . Spring cannot be far away now.

Mud season has begun. Appears to be a good crop this year...

Wood consumption has taken a HUGE nose dive. I cleaned up the PE's hearth tonight, and filled to Barilla boxes with sweepings.

I need a life

groan away. You're to far away for me to smack

I have a clear path from the driveway to the house. The driveway is a frozen tundra (dirt)

Think of the free refrigeration and ice cubes you can make for another month or so. Silver lining Dix, silver lining....

I still have more to split and git in the barn yet. Then thinking of getting another load. Got a big open empty barn, what better to use it for than wood....
My attitude sucks as another pointed out. Don''t see that changing anytime soon.

Having a nice big barn is really nice it's the only thing I lack most all outside
storage.Have plenty of wood 80 acres and wood processor as well as
homemade rugged splitter but alas no storage like you. Very nice.

So they got our one-month snowfall in one shot. At least they only had to clean-up once!

 

[begreen]

Not cleaned up yet. They can't even get out to clean it in a lot of places. That guy is standing next to a high second story window there.

Wowza, hope it melts quickly !!

Wore sneakers today, first time since December.

I can see the back stacks, and almost have a clear path to some of it . Still laying the ash from the stove on the layers of ice.

Waiting for the weather report, next week is not looking so lovely.
