Yup, nothing but a wood stove here and instinct took over for me this year. Just a feeling. I have twice as much cut and split as I did this time last year. I plan on doing more this week. We get ice storms around here or at least that's what they call them. Cold fronts from Canada clash with warm, moist air from the gulf and we're at the spot where they clash. Rain, temp drops and it freezes, repeat, repeat, some wet snow, repeat. Pretty soon everything is coated with 2-3" of ice. Trees snap, power lines snap. Can't hardly walk, never mind drive. Last one had people in a small/medium sized city stuck at home with no power for two weeks.
Kinda beyond using an ice scraper LOL.
