The last snowstorm was predicted to be like that, we probably wound up with about 8". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,131 #7 Posted February 2, 2022 I think I would rather have them predict 10" and get 5" as opposed to the other way around. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,904 #10 Posted February 2, 2022 The way it’s coming down here, I’m believing their 14” predictions. We have well over 8” of fresh snow. I’ve plowed once today and will do it again in the next couple hours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hiked to the tree stand and hung a trail cam This was only the second, but I started off clean. I started off the season with firewood that I cut from standing dead locust and thought it would be fine, but it gave me the worst case of creosote ever. I bought a moisture meter and burned only wood that was under roof since that mess and this cleaning could have been delayed a bit but I didn't want to take a chance and the weather was ideal. I brought in a good supply of wood that was under a tarp and got wide swings in moisture readings, so this batch won't be as good and some will be set aside for more drying. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
