It hasn't necessarily been warm this winter, but we've generally avoided the bitter cold weather. Until now. The forecast is for single digits overnight and daytime wind chills below zero. When I am working in the woods, I often need bare fingers (to get the core in the straw for one), so I decided to stock up on some field data yesterday—the last warm day. I found this pine in Joes Valley. It is 120 feet tall and 44 inches in diameter. A monster for this part of the world. Unfortunately, it took 10 tries for the cutting screw on the increment borer to catch. I got just one core.
