Since we’re under a winter weather advisory today for sleet, snow, and freezing rain and I was feeling kind of masochistic macho, figured I’d try to get a few more stumps dug out.  Actually was successful for the first half dozen, including the second-largest stump needing removal, which was the stump for the maple whose core was rotten.  But, after two hours I was back to trying to dig completely frozen ground and was, myself, completely frozen.  In keeping with that theme, Fern Lake also is still completely frozen.
