With all this snow, cold and wind I'm finding it hard to get my but out there and get some sawing done. I have an order of a 100 3x10x10s to do for next week so that might get me motivated a little.... I'm really starting to hate winter..lol  :snowball:

I hear you.  High today in Northern Wisconsin is -2.  I cannot imagine Alberta Canada.

It's 30 degrees out here.

I just finished cutting up a big walnut thats been lying around for a while. It only took about an hour to slice and dice it, but it took twice that long to unfreeze my coolant line. Thats a mistake I won't make again. :D

It was 10 here to day and we were skidding firewood logs, cutting and splitting.  We were doing well until I tried to move a big chunk of hickory and hurt my back...  off to the chiropractor and now sitting on an ice pack :-\

Nasty weather, and laziness are in two different baskets,  now, an emergency brings a different mindset to the table,  Just being prepared is about the only answer to winter weather,  and warm fires are hard to break away from,    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,

Makes me so sad that I don't live in the Great White North.

I believe I will stick with sunny and 75 Tucson, AZ for the next few months. ;D

I always love your pictures Lyle! It was 7 degrees at 525 this am when I fired the truck up, but I'd take that over 80 degrees in the morning and having to run air.  We got a good piece of snow on the ground last weekend, and I'd take more. I love it!

I put in my time in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota.  :)

I'm cured. I'll take the summer heat anytime in trade. The heat takes longer to kill you. ;D 8) 8) 8)

Having those crisp, cold mornings where the snow crunches and the chill goes right through the clothes just makes looking forward to those coming 25 - 30 deg F days feel so great.   IMO

No bugs, no mud, no sweat..  Can't beat it.  And coming in to throw another log on the fire is just another plus. ;)

Times like this I really enjoy being retired  8) 40 below is cold no matter if you are Celsius or Fahrenheit! Soon as my fingers start to tingle I am back in by the fire.

Lyle Niemi, they are cold pics  :D I do like winter.
This time of year I put John up on something if he sets for a while.[ so not to freeze in] I like your 410g ;D

It was -21°C here through the weekend (-6°F), clear and sunny. I stayed inside except to fetch firewood.

Tuesday it was up to -12°C (10°F) and today it got up to -6°C (21°F). The warmer temperatures are caused by clouds moving in (keeps the heat in at night) and it is snowing outside right now. Not hard enough to make the skiers happy, but I'll out bright and early plowing snow.

Sorry, Mark, I left out a qualifying word.   I've heard about Buffalo's snow. :o

There are different types of cold,dry and damp.The  most miserable winter I went through was near Memphis Tn. the temp was not that low but it was a damp cold you couldn't get warm.Up through northern Maine and those latitudes you get a dryer cold,squeky snow syndrome, thats much easier to deal with.Factor in wind and all bets are off. Of course equipment can't tell the difference it just feels the temp. Frank C.
