Planted 350 German White hard neck this fall, not sure where they are right now. LOL
Wish you could send some of that white stuff up this ways. Its been a terrible winter, not enough snow to insulate things, on the verge of atv or snowmobile, varies daily. Praying for more snow. Only benefit is the ice is thick and dark, just gonna be a pain harvesting any this year.
We got snow falling again as I write, they are predicting another 8" here. Hey, it's winter! Just wish it came before Tax Season!

We had a brown Christmas, a brown New Year, a brown superbowl, and we are heading for a brown Valentine's day as well. I usually make my winter money on snow removal but that's not happening this year. Too mild to sell wood too. It a scratch and save winter for sure
We had a good snow in Nov, then Dec was fairly warm. Been cold enough in Jan, and a good amount of snow recently. Hi temp has been under 20 on several days, and a lot of wind also.
Seems like a lot of years recently we have a White Thanksgiving and a Green Christmas! Mother Nature is going through the "change"!

Cool more garlic growers! We usually plant about 400 - 500 each year. I just did my nails, ain't they cute?

Just got done plowing another 8", but it is still coming down, in the teens & windy! And I got appointments later.

Finally had a few flurries of white dirt this morning, but nothing major. Freaking cold now though, temp dropping fast.
Never any road plowing around here, when it comes down, it stays until driven over and melted. One exception, but I didn't see it. Boss told me storm of the century in 93 he took his own road grader and did the road all the way to the interstate (about 5 miles) so the chicken feed trucks could get in.
I think the state sands bridges and down in atlanta they have plow trucks.
When I worked for the moving co (mid 1970s) I was driving an 18 wheeler down in Atlanta when they had one of their 1st snows in years, those people did not have a clue! Cars off the road all over the place, was like they thought they could just drive normal in it. Very Scary!
FYI, we were transporting museum paintings (from NY to Atlanta) for an exhibit. The only reason they used 18 wheelers (only 4 paintings per load) was for the increased insurance. There was a rash of art thefts at the time, and we were ordered not to leave the truck unmanned for any reason. My 870 literally rode shotgun with us.

Ya, there's just not enough snow for anyone to really get used to it.
Vehicles here are equipped to drive on hard surface roads, and then in the mud..but not snow. And ice, fergit it....
I did last year during the big snow/ice storm just for a hoot, to see if I could still do it, up to the country store and back..took me a long time, too. And if I had waited 1/2 hour or so more, nope, couldn't have done it, except maybe with chains.

Out, standing in my field.
Chains! That's what people should be using more of on these snowy roads.
I was able to drag wood around the back of my house with the 2wd '86 Chebby yesterday, pushing 6" of snow, because I had chains on.
They are even better than bias ply tires, in my opinion.

Nice garlic! I'm going to have to clean mine up this year and then take the photo ... and the nails look, 'ahem' ... 'pretty' as well
I'm a fan of the new cable chains. Got the previous Mustang stuck down a long dirt uphill driveway when an unpredicted snow came a few years ago.
Put the cable chains on it, and it went up like a tractor! And now they make them with an extra break in them to make installation easier.
They go into the trunk of the Mustang every winter, even though I only needed them once.
I've also used them on the 4wd to get to my upstate property (2 mi in on a 4wd rd) when the rd is icy. They work well.

Okay I need a real honest answer. I know there's a lot of variables involved but what kind of time frame am I looking at to cure white oak? The lady I contacted months ago through a local forum finally responded to my last message and told me I can make a time to cut up all her downed oak trees. Also has several dead standing ones I can have.

You know I really like your sentence/writing structure. It feels like I'm reading a poem. Keep up the good work sir.
this will go against the "grain" of what most say but i had access to some W O tops that were cut late spring 2014. i cut them in Oct. and split some in Dec. checked the with the meter last week and they were running in the 12-16 % range.just threw some in the stove a few minutes ago. your results may vary depending on the type of saw you use.
