Your expectations for this winter?

[chris23a]

How much firewood do you expect to sell this winter? I think its going to be another mild winter and with oil prices considerably lower than last year does that mean less demand for logs?

Miserable wet and mild . If its any thing better than that I will consider it a bonus and I don't sell logs ! Well not much anyway .

[onyx landscaping/fencing]

my guess and it is nothing more than a guess! wet with a very early very cold spell before xmass that is short lived turning back wet just after xmass and a late spring

Log sales are down on this time last year. I think it is down to mild weather and the low price of heating oil. In my area a lot of people are on oil and they will use the cheapest heat be it oil or logs. Logs have to compete on price with other forms of energy, and I have estimated that at my prices when oil drops below 55p then it is better value than logs, not to mention miles more convenient.

Seem fairly steady at present which is nice as we've moved to a new yard and have much to sort out. Earlier on this year probably from July it was mental with people stocking up with load after load. Weather wise I think at some point the gulf stream will drop again like in the summer and every bugger will start freezing......including me

Or even the Jet Stream.

but if the gulf stream was to change and the flow from the north atlantic drift changed we would also have colder winters.
