My rough calculation has this at plus or minus 19 cords. My goal is 25 - that should be good for about 3 years worth. Looks like I won't get there this year though because soon I will change from counting up to 19 to down from 19.

I wish my outside stacks looked like that, I even try to watch how I stack them and still comes out leaning every which way. How do you get your rows so straight? You must take your time stacking.
Lay out the pallets straight and just follow the line. The best looking splits go on the end of the rows. Straight stuff goes on the bottom. Got 2 tapered splits? Lay them back to back. The real ugly stuff goes on the top. I spend a lot more time cutting and splitting than stacking - just seems to come naturally I guess. Probably evidence of a mis-spent youth playing wtih blocks.
Do you cover them for the winter or keep them as is.
No cover year-round. You can see in the picture that most of it does get at least some sun even with a bit of canopy. Last year was no issue, but usually just shake the snow off a few splits before I put them in the woodburner. I'm not saying that's the best way, it's just what I do.
