I still have some in spots , but mostly Mud ...
Got the log splitter started . It would not run last week because of the cold and the hydro oil being so thick . Guess I will split some wood today .

I couldn't even get to my wood yesterday. The rain washed the slush and snow off of the ice and since it's sloped, I couldn't get it. Tried busting some of the ice but it is still solid up here on my hill.

Well, it started raining here Friday night, we lost power about 3:30 Saturday, down now for about 35 hrs and from the looks of things we will be without power for another 2-3 days. I made a run to town today, 20 miles...and saw at least 100 power poles and more than 1000 trees down on the way. Between the county, state, power crews and the neighbors we have about an 8' wide path for those 20 miles to town.

Oh my....that is some ugly weather. Glad you are all keeping safe and prepared.

It is back to just rain here....for the moment. A simple minor shift in the jet stream could give us what you all had earlier.

Hope everyone's Monday is better.

Looks like a good sam came along and cut most of it up - either that or they were hunting firewood...

I have begun to wish that "FEBRUARY" would just pack up its bag of tricks and go away.

PS: It looks like there's a lot of good and easy wood to section off on that log, and people would thank you for taking it!

Dang, Joe, that don't look good at all.. Sorry to hear it is so bad there... I hope things get back to normal soon!!!

I wonder what it is about Crossville, the weather reports always say you are 10° to 15° colder there than it is here in Cleveland, the elevation is only about 1000 feet higher on average.. I know it is cooler the higher you go but I wouldn't think it would make that much difference... Did you guys **** off the weather gods there or something?

The Cumberland Plateau sits at a pretty high elevation. Some of our coolest summer vacation nights are at the Beanpot, not Elkmont.

Yes, it's strange how many times there has been snow and Ice predicted for East TN and soon as the weather drops off the plateau it turns to rain or just drys up..
