Closer inspection of that craziness said the tallest mountains in the most northern counties only, but still, whoa with the snow, people!
I could deal with that.
Me too! I did see a National Weather Service prediction that this winter will be warmer and wetter than usual across the US.... I'm gonna withhold agreement with that one until it's proven!Would love current temps to hang around for another 6 months -- then right into Spring
* 28 here this morning and a crunchy frost on the grass....this should kill most of what's left in the garden and flower beds. Fall is officially here!!!!!
@CrealCritter , we are not ready here either...I think this is the latest we've ever left our wood getting. Most of what we have cut up right now is from green trees that uprooted this spring and summer~have a hoop shed half full of that and another mountain yet to be moved and stacked, so not much dry wood cut and split. We have a couple three cords of dry in the shed still but need MUCH more to fill out our wood needs for the winter. We usually have the shed full to the door and several cords on the porch by now.
Hey...you'll be pleased to see my new splitting ax, which splits wood like a dream, though it's only 4 lb. We have a big maul here but it's just too heavy for me to split for very long with it, so I got myself a lady tool.
It requires minimal effort to split the wood with this thing, but I haven't used it on any really tough, twisted grain wood yet, so we'll see if it can manage it. Anyhoo, it's my new gym equipment. I think it's made by the Ames company, bought it at Lowe's.

heck here in southern IL they can't even guess the weather correctly 2 hours in advance. You'll look at the forcast sunny and clear yet you see a storm off in the horizon my confidence level with the weather guessers is pretty much zero.
