Last year in the spring I saw 2 different stations on TV with 2 different programs predict this cold for this winter. I hoped they were wrong but I did cut extra wood because of this prediction. What they base the prediction on was the gulf stream that runs north and south along the east coast. What"s happened is the ice in the north has melted and that part of the ocean is 90% fresh water. The salt has been pushed south and the % of salt is much higher than normal to the south. They showed the salt and temp sensors that were used in the ocean to record over the years and showed the change in both. The gulf stream sends warm water up north at one level of elevation in the ocean and comes back at a lower level. The lower level is where the salt is being pushed back south out of salt water being replaced with fresh water.
Now I"m not one to believe glabal warming is caused by humans but I am old enough to see for myself how much the weather has changed in the last 50 years. This winter is much like we use to have back in the 50"s 60"s and early 70"s. I think it"s a natural event but none the less it"s a change. Just glad I have the extra wood to make it through this winter. I already know of folks that are running out of seasoned wood now. Have seen the price jump $30 a pickup load.
From what was predicted last spring and what I see now I plan to have even more wood ready for next winter. This may be a new winter trend. I see oil has already gone to $80 a barrel. I"m sure the cold weather across the country has speculators running that up right now.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
