The month started off cold, so was able to run dogs and haul in firewood. But then it warmed up into the fifties and softened up the trails. Eventually it cooled off enough to haul half a dozen loads of wood over the hill. Now it's still kind of cool with patches of snow and ice hanging on, so it's a good time to put the splitter on the tractor and get the logs split into firewood.
