Wow, it doesn't warm up very fast. It was downright crisp out this morning when I went out on the swamp to cut wood. Wading in knee-deep snow warmed me up in a hurry, however.

I sawed down two dead ash trees, cut them up, and hauled them to shore with my wood sled. I am learning how to distribute the weight on the sled so it isn't quite so hard to pull. Last week I remodeled the thing so it doesn't gather snow in the front. I also changed my harness from clotheline to thick rope so it doesn't dig so deeply into my shoulders.
