About 6° overnight, mid teens by chore time.
Wood shed path cleared yesterday, wood shed roof today.
Packing in front of garage from plow pull is going to be a menace once the warmth and rain begin on Tuesday. SMH. In deep mourning over not being able to use thrower to avoid this type of packing. SIGH. Fighting visions of disaster(garage flooding, house roof collapse, trapped by ice on driveway, etc) with the coming thaw/rain. Cleaning 8 days of poop on boards might partially distract me.

Cleaning 8 days of poop on boards might partially distract me.

Yow! I can't leave it that long. 2 days tops. I've been using the paint scraper to pop what little is stuck off the boards. It's nice when it's frozen because it scoops without sticking to the scoop.
I've also been donning the Carhart bibs and coat so I stay very comfortable for the work. When I went out without the bibs, I got cold fast and my hands were getting numb.

15° feels like 3°. Our weather station is usually a few degrees lower than that though. That’s from wherever my towns station is. Idk what our weather station says bc. it’s upstairs lol

Starting out at 32F way up here in the sky this morning!

I will spend my day plotting the demise of more firewood...
Have a great day, Cafe!

Yeah, I know. Haven't ever gone more than a few days either.
Boards are lined with vinyl sheet flooring, have to be careful in the cold weather not to fracture it(did that the first winter, tho it was successfully repaired).
It'll be a mess but better than destroying the board liner.

Good Morning Cafe ! Our temps are back to 40's to 50's.
Rain is with that and mud.
I had one day I could only use the hammer claw to get the poop off.
I usually use a putty knife to scrape the crap off.
I use a plastic rake to clean under the tables.

I was able to pop a lot of poop off the boards today, yay!
