Don't blame you a bit, 18 outside, with now around 10 in, and I thought it was not going to do anything?
Still wonder how you northern boys get it done with such cold weather,    david
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

It's currently 1°F outside. I think its a great day to stay inside and catch up on paperwork and emails.

I'm not sawing today either.  Its been raining steady for 24 hrs and everything is saturated.  I did at least move the mill to the next pile of logs since I was already out with the tractor feeding cows.

My air conditioner was on 2 hours ago. It is now 6:39 pm and the heater is now on. I lived in New Hampshire for a small spell when I was young and don't see how yall handle it. Hope you all stay warm with this storm and don't forget about the dogs etc.

That nice brisk weather forms a good character. Toss another log on the fire and stay inside.

Seriously,when the temp. drops below a certin point the prudent sawyer will find something else to do.Below zero cold is tough on machinery,many times you will loose money trying to work and damage equipment.I realize some have to work in those conditions but its hard to turn a buck. Frank C.

Thats a possibility I guess..lol

Below zero weather will definitely keep me away!  All we have, is too much rain, mud, and sleet.

I think the weather guesser called for -15 here. I'm feeding the cows, breaking some ice and planning on hiding in the house.
I'm even calling off my customary Saturday treasure hunt at the local landfill! :o

I can relate to that Andy, I just got up to the shop, made coffee, fired up ol suzie (wood stove) and looking at that 966 loader I just bought trying to figure out where to start on it, the old beast needs lots of lovin. Its to bad that equipment get neglected like that but I'll do the best I can to fix er up!

There won't be any sawing going on here today. Looks like a great day to hide in my woodshop and sharpen my slabber chains.
