Have no fear... the downed tree will remain there waiting ever so patiently for you to come drag it to the butchering area. The weather waits for no one!

True but I would like to get the rest of it at least cut to 8'. Blocking to 16" would get it drying some. But I'm not gonna go out through deep snow. Didn't get chains, probably couldn't lift them anyway, and the last thing I need is to have the tractor stuck out there for the winter

But RA, snow! Gonna be a mess. Snowed about 3", near freezing so wet, just above freezing now so mush that will freeze. Temp dropping over the next couple of days and the low Thurs AM is supposed to be about 12°.
And my lower back is spasming. Not sure why.

Was just picking on you. Getting the tractor ready for snow blowing is definitely #1. It's still fall but winter always comes early 'round here.
Sorry to hear that your back is spasming. Hope it stops soon and doesn't give you too much pain.

Why don't you send that snow down here. We would love to have some snow for a change.
Careful what you wish for STA... Might turn into one heck of an ice storm for you vice snow...

If we get snow, it is usually February. Last year it was January. Today there were snow flurries! Very light, it melted when it hit the ground, but snow in November??

We had 1.3 inches of COLD rain Sunday aft and Monday. Then just cloudy and dreary today and temps barely hit mid 40's. They are calling for a rain/ice/sleet/snow "EVENT" here starting Wed night/early Thurs a.m.. Up to 1/4 inch ice/sleet and roads will be a mess. About a month early for us. It was in the 50's and 60's and we made hay 10 days ago.... Got to test a farm Wed that is 70 miles from me but should be home by 8-9 p.m. Got one scheduled for Thurs aft. but it will depend on the weather. I don't go out in it anymore if it is bad. Got the 4x4 ford ranger farm truck to get around for the cows I have to go do. Then clearing and cold for a week or so starting on Friday I think.
Gonna be a tough winter I think.
