We've been tallying the rain and the snow, so I figured we might as well see who's up to their axles in the glop. :D We'll use a five star system.

* Mud, what's mud?
** My truck is dirty again DanGit, woe is me.
*** Shoulda locked the hubs, but we'll make it!
**** Why yes, I do have a tow strap.
*****Anyone here got a D8, a hundred feet of log chain, and a snorkel?

I think it's all up in MN, at least there seems to be plenty on top of Gary_C's forwarder (or is that the harvester) :o

Ya'll in Ky. are getting our Wi. leftovers ;D  We were -21°f yesterday morning but back up to 6° this a.m. :D
Supposed to get above freezing here by Tuesday 8)

In spite of our latitude, we get very little of the cold stuff.  Any snow inevitably transforms to mud after 5 hours or so.  A 6 month mud season!!?!!

Our current ranking on the gloop scale is 3½*s, so if anyone wants to order their mud, I'll ship some over now.  :D  BIG discounts ARE available if ordered in bulk. ;D ;D

Last weekend it got up to 45°F here and we could barely make it back to our house with 4wh drive. It then decided that winter was not long enough and promptly dropped the temp back into single digits with a blizzard thrown in for good measure. It's snowing lightly out right now and supposed to be cold today but the forecast is that we'll have warm weather by next week. It better hurry, last year we planted corn on the 19th of April, we may need that D8 to pull the planter this year. :D

There is no need to say 'unleaded regular gas'. It's all unleaded. Just say 'regular gas'. It's not the 70s anymore. (At least that's what my wife tells me.)

Georgia has been having such an extended drought that our Govenor Purdue had
an official prayer meeting for rain.  Since then it seems that we have been getting
a couple of inches of rain every 5-7 days.  Who woodathunkit?!

On the present job we set up the Peterson with a log deck and bunk system on an area which had
recently had five inches of top soil re-spread over it.  The area is a dirt pit.  A construction
company mines red clay sand for packable fill dirt out of the area and then reclaims it
for planting pines.

The only real good area to set up was near the border of this new top soil.
What a mess.  We dug down to the clay underneath and set short pegs of Northern Red Oak
to serve as foundations to support the Peterson rails and to be the V-notched pegs
which support our log rails (log deck).   One of the guys got his shoes so muddy that he
left them outside overnight, only to find next AM that a dog had carried one off.  Never found it.

This has been one episode where I am thankful that a swinger makes lots of chips.
They sure do help with the mud!

*** to**** here.  Our 4 inches of snow disappeared today.  It was plenty muddy before.  I wish I had time to go take a photo at the White River yesterday.  It is flooding and has closed Highway 257, which happens at least a couple times a year.  I would have liked a photo of the flooded bottomland with the snow down to the water's edge.

Douginutah Have you been mudding in your driveway again? You boys up north are tired of snow I am tired of MUD. Not enough stars for me to put up. We have a 4x4 farm here and the boys sure are having fun with their trucks out there.

The five foot high snow banks in the yard must have shrank in height by about 6 inches yesterday and it was only about +3 C with no breeze.  Going to be a slushy mess here today with temps of +5C or higher.  I am glad my new front driveshaft for the 4x4 will be here today because the snowpack is going to get awefully soft before it disappears. :D :D

Not even a 1* here...how do you make mud when your living on a pile of rocks? ;D
