We had 14" of snow and it stayed below freezing for several days, I was sure we were going to have a White Christmas (for a change). Then, it climbs up to 60 today and now it is raining like crazy and sounds like Hurricane winds outside, and all the snow is gone!

Supposed to turn sharply colder again. I will tell you, if all of this was snow, we would be packed in for a while!
 
Merry Christmas fellas! Not much for firewood gifts this year unless you count this for when the chainsaws are put away:

We have plenty on our property without planting, they grow naturally. So many that we’ve been removing and throwing them into burn piles, they are way too thick. We don’t want our property congested, and it’s a major fire hazard. We have sugar pine, ponderosa pine, cedar, and white fir. The white fir pass as Christmas trees.
I don't have enough mature evergreens to self sustain though there are several individual trees growing naturally in random places. I do have areas that are as thick as your photo with maple, sasafras, black walnut, and even oak. None of those pass as Christmas trees. ;)
 
Glad i managed to get 1 ton of chestnut coal from U.S. Coal Corp about 30 miles from me that will help on the really cold nights when wood just isn't enough. Damn glad of it because large amounts of wood is hard to get ahold of around here at the present.

For some reason cant get a pic to send to my puter. Fastest Weather change I can remember. At 3:30pm temp was 47f and raining cats and dogs. 4;30 temps was 37f and starting to snow, big flakes. At 5;30 temps down to 27f snow stopped and accumulation of 3 inches on my back porch. Expected temps tonight down to 17. Lost a big limb off the whitepine in front yard. I had trimmed limbs off that tree that had been hanging over the house this past summer. Havent looked around the rest of the place, but I havent heard any big crashes.
Be safe. We had -20 last night but up to +18 later today. Merry Christmas Bill!
