Got some pictures from my sister back in Illinois this afternoon (looked quite a bit like the ones you posted Charlie).

Over the last couple of weeks I've been trimming out some of the excess/overgrown trees on my place. My daughter and son in law use a wood stove to help cut their heating bills, so I went ahead and cut the split the wood for them to use (a bit over a half cord by the time I was done).

Between the pictures of snow and cutting the wood I am reminded of 2 things:

1. Why I live in Arizona

2. Why I don't heat with wood.



To all of you in the storms path stay safe.
