Definition of a weird winter
Cold enough that I need a fire but warm enough that I can go outside to get firewood while naked..............

I only slip my boots on if it's muddy out. 
Bearfoot tracks in the snow (if/when it comes) are always interesting conversation starters for visitors, later in the day.

My house is very hard to get to, it takes a four wheel drive to get up my driveway. So lots of time I go out in my underwear to get firewood. Well I opened the door and had on my skivvies and there was my neighbor about 20 feet from the door. I was mortified to say the least. It was something about stray dogs.
I still go out but now I put on a shirt jacket.
Am so glad to hear that I am not the only one who gets firewood almost naked.

Around here I don't even need a fire. With the temp in the high 60 or low 70 with night in the low 60 it almost feels like early spring or late fall.

At least you don't split it naked......I hope. Those flying chips could really hurt.

There was one awhile back but I can't remember. Mostly going to the barn in night shirts and muck boots and such. I got a big chuckle out of it.

If you split your wood naked be sure and get a hard hat for something other than your head.

True Story . . .
So I was splitting a chunk of firewood in the basement a couple days ago . . . When a mighty swing sent a small piece of firewood ricocheting off the stove and directly onto my pinky toe, protected only by a fine wool hiking sock.
Kinda swelled up, turned purple, and hurt like the devil for two days, but now I can walk "normal" on it if I'm really careful.
And speaking of abnormally warm weather, how are you supposed to kill a deer with a muzzleloader without SNOW???? At least here in WV, Muzzleloader season is 2 weeks after THANKSGIVING week!!!

Not a big deal here - we keep a supply on the front porch.
Though my husband has run out naked with the .22 to get a varmint in the middle of the winter. Pretty impressive as he had jumped out of bed to do so!

I've yet to meet a 'coon in the chicken house that was willing to wait for me to shave, shower and dress for dinner, at two o'clock in the morning.......

I keep a pair of shorts handy that I slip on as I get out of bed and I will continue to do that until our daughter gets married and moves out in June.
Before she was born we had the year of too many feral cats around here and I have woke up to our dogs barking at them cats digging in our burning barrel, grabbed the 22 and flashlight and shot the cat many times naked.
Imagine stepping out on the porch at 1 AM to shoot a feral cat and realizing you are sharing the porch with your favorite white skunk visitor.
DON'T SHOOT !!!! It was an all white skunk that had a small black stripe down it's back. Many late evenings I would open the door and talk to that skunk as it was on our porch eating cat food my wife had put out there for our cats. There was no food that night because we were not going to feed those feral cats. All those nights had done me good though because there I was with that just slightly alarmed skunk and instead of shooting the cat that night I just talked normally to the skunk and stepped back into the house. My sweet wife said something like, "I didn't hear you shoot. What happened."
When I told her she laughed so hard it took a loooooog time for her to get back to sleep. 8>)))
