the old almanac says more of everything again this heating season. looks like we peps here in minnesota will get our first heavy snow on Friday/Saturday/sunday.... the weather channel looks for a 3 day storm short and fast with today being in the easy 70* mark .. we shall see and feel ?
 
Does not matter at my house, once the stove is lit it stays lit until spring. 8-10 cords burned depending on when it starts and when it stops, not the temps or snowfall... house full of women! I am expecting colder than normal temps by the acorn and hickory nut output though, they just seem to coincide in my area.
 
Being I have two snowblowers, a plow truck, and ten cords of wood ready we’ll probably have a mild winter.

Yesterday was beautiful, today is supposed to be nice. Then we are supposed to have rain or snow for 8 out of the next ten days.

A lot of times when we get a miserable autum, it gets nice in November. I remember years where we froze our ass off in the duck blind and deer hunted in t-shirts. You never know.
 
Last winter was incredibly mild. That was because I had bought a sledge in readiness to go and play with my little girls if we had decent snow. Now I have that sledge we will have mild winters.
Just in case, I've 3 cords of wood 2 year seasoned, 3 more seasoning.
 
Whatever we get this winter I don't really care so long as it isn't perpetual mud like it was about two years ago. Mild winters are disappointing (to me at least) - but a muddy winter means I can do squat in terms of wood processing and gathering.

AMEN!!! I needed to mill the battens for my garage last winter and if it was not raining it was such a muddy ****hole nothing got done. Well except for beer and moonshine consumption... :cheers:
 
Every prediction of snow whether it be an inch or 3 feet will have people knocking on the door for wood they should have gotten last spring. Uh sorry no that's my wood stacked over there.:)
Like I've mentioned before I have people that will not respond to me till they NEED wood. They would literally ignore my calls and texts when I tried to get them squared away in the spring. Sorry I am out. They can now get it from the guy charging double and shorting on volume or from the guy who delivers freshly cut wood and calls it seasoned. I do not care which one they choose.

You could just wait and be "that guy"... :surprised3:
