I'd guess that wood moisture should be at it's lowest right now. Good time to follow tree-service trucks, maybe? (Waiting for the next ice storm . . .) I've found it is tougher to dry them out... this time of the year the water is frozen inside the wood... The other problem I've had drying them slower is mildew... especially in the dark basement
