Yep, school here and surrounding areas has been canceled yesterday and today. Our ground never freezes really deep and doesn't stay froze for long. Right now it is so fricken dry you have to cover your face if a skidder runs by you...w or w/o a hitch...dry like a drought. Our ground will really fall out here in the next month or two depending on what we will be cutting on. I have been on high ground for about 2 months...no "real" problems with mudd. The skidders usually pull the trucks in and turn them around with the loader anyway.
My next tract is a clearcut over here near me, I think it is pretty rocky gladey looking tract. I have cut all around this piece the last couple Winters and have always stayed up and kept working. I will be cutting yet another piece of timber lying along ADOC ground...over the last 12 years I have cut 75% of the ground that borders ADOC! That's crazy if you think about it! That is cutting solo and cutting with 2 other crews over the years. How I ended up cutting it is pure coincidence. Hell they should know me by now! LOL! I used to keep my skid horse on ADOC land when I cut a land locked set. The guards knew me and they would bring apples and stuff out to my horse.
