I have a pile of 8' logs that I've been working through over the past few weeks. Fortunately, up until now I haven't worried too much about the snow because we just haven't had much...However, we seem to be in a pretty familiar winter pattern now where it snows just about every day.
During the week when I don't have time to tend to the pile, approximately 6" of snow (sometimes more) will pile up. Do I need to worry about brushing the snow off the logs before hitting them with the chainsaw or do you guys just ignore the snow and saw right through it when you're bucking your logs? What are the consequences to the chain/bar/saw if any?
It would be nearly impossible to get all the ice/snow build up off the logs, so maybe I'm just over thinking it.
