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.

It Is 75 degrees here in South Ga, I'm moving the mill over to my neighbors to start sawing this afternoon. Oh and I am in my shorts and tee shirt, sorry for you guys in the cold.

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.

I may be wrong but I think he means it keeps alot of people away. The very cold climate.
