On Monday we started to burn our brush piles which we thought would go rather rapidly. With all the snow and rain we have had this winter the burning process took the entire week.
As you can see in the photo (left) the large amounts of snow around the base of the pile. What it doesn't show is the snow that was on top and inside the pile. I was most surprised at how long it took for it to melt. These fires were hot enough that you had to stay several feet away and yet it seemed the snow was hardly melting and it was only a few inches away. It may have something to do with all the rain creating ice layers.
Taking some time to reload on energy!
Be sure to keep an eye on the FYI section (In the right column) for any current items of interest. I have recently posted a link for an Emerald Ash Borer Update from the MDA.
