I remember one year when I was in high school, maybe 76 or 77 we had a decent storm on the 21st or 22nd with a cold arctic air front moving in and blowing the snow around, just great timing that year for a white Christmas,
Same thing happened to us, our agent found us a cheaper provider, don't remember the numbers but it was quite a bit, not sure what's going on with these insurance companies raising their rates so much.
The Fiskars is just an axe but it really slices through rounds like butter, I've used the one you guys like when I have to cut down big rounds but then I use the Fiskars to finish.

If that pattern flips favorable the third week of Dec into the holidays, I'd be happy, good things can happen after that since it's primetime for us for the next few weeks after.
You guys talking about this?

I have one but would rather use a Fiskars, can do it much faster, if I'm real lazy I use my gas powered splitter but I've only split one cord with it.
