That I cut timber in a T shirt on the 12 of December and I was still to hot. Not sure what the temperature was but way above average, stay safe everone.

It's been nice but not good for cutting or trucking.

starmac · December 12, 2015, 09:57:20 PM

It is warming up here too, it was only 4 below, when I headed to the woods this morning.

Strongest El Nino ever . Second strongest El Nino was winter 1997/1998

I'm enjoying it,but Vermont's ski industry which is a big employer is hurting.Hard to get around in the woods as well.Our back roads are terrible,a little frost at night then warms up during the the day, makes for some slippery driving.On the other hand the construction business is doing very well,lots of commercial work that would normally be shut down by now.

Thunder showers here this morning. Pretty rare for December in N. Michigan.

98 was the year of the big ice storm up here. freezing rain for days. the power was out for over 2 weeks

ehp · December 14, 2015, 06:35:53 AM

its not quite that hot here but still cutting in a tee shirt , yesterday was like 52 degrees which is crazy for here , should be 10 or so below 0 . My grass is still green

ehp · December 14, 2015, 04:34:54 PM

raining here pretty good most of the day, they are talking 5 plus inches next week here , hope it goes north, south, east or west of me ;D

Winter should be coming any minute now.

Autocar · December 14, 2015, 07:01:17 PM

By this coming weekend it's suppose to be near freezing then next week back up to 60's. We got another shower just a few minuites ago . Pretty sure I won't be able to log tomarrow it dosen't take much this time of year to put you out of bussiness for a while.

ehp · December 15, 2015, 06:40:13 PM

rained here most of the day but started the new cut , got maybe 8,000 feet of grade timber out. Its to rain everyday next week

Firewoodjoe · December 15, 2015, 06:46:29 PM

Mud mud everywhere. Took me an hour from the time I pulled off the county road till I got backed into the wood pile. Makes for a crummy day. Glad it's not just us though😀

dustintheblood · December 15, 2015, 07:09:09 PM

I'm all for cold and last winter just a bit too chilly for too long. Warm weather's nice to have, but I hope it gets cold enough to at least snow.

Thinking I may have to drag out the lawn mower for one last go around.

Ken · December 15, 2015, 08:47:19 PM

It has been very warm and wet here as well. I have a significant amount of wood that I can't get to market as a result. One plus side is that every day that it is not snowing sideways and -20 is one day closer to spring.

mad murdock · December 16, 2015, 01:35:21 AM

We have had more than 15" of rain in the last week. More in the forecast

Autocar · December 18, 2015, 07:14:25 PM

Holy cow about froze to death today with snow squalls :D Sunday I think the weather man said back into the 50's. Wind chill was 13 degrees crazy for sure.

JohnW · December 18, 2015, 09:34:27 PM

First time, Autocar? You must be a young man. I'm pretty sure 12/1973 or 12/1974 was a December with quite a few days in the 60's. I don't think it ever got cold till the middle of January.
