Will Wood Dry In Winter. So, 50 degrees is 1/4 the rate of 90 degrees. Water freezing inside the wood expands the cells and allows the moisture to escape more quickly.

If they did, they would die as expanding water destroyed cell structure. As a rough rule of thumb, for every 20 degrees f hotter, the wood will dry twice as fast. This will lead the wood to disperse some of its humidity resulting in a lower humidity level inside the wood.
Because The Rh In The Summer And The Winter Is The Same (Within A Few Points), The Season Rh Change Is Not Going To Affect Drying.
This, in turn, will lead to the wood contracting. Drying firewood in the winter is easier said than done. Live trees do not “freeze solid” during the winter;
Yes, Most Firewood Will Season, Or Dry During Winter Months;
Maybe not as fast, but faster than many would believe. Dry wood will contract while wet wood will expand. If they did, they would die as expanding water destroyed cell structure.

When it starts to get colder outside, let´s just say that winter is around the corner, then the humidity levels outside will drop. This will lead the wood to disperse some of its humidity resulting in a lower humidity level inside the wood. That doesn't necessarily mean the wood will dry faster in winter, but a winter cycle coupled with a spring and/or summer cycle are what contribute to wood completely drying.
As A Rough Rule Of Thumb, For Every 20 Degrees F Hotter, The Wood Will Dry Twice As Fast.
So, 50 degrees is 1/4 the rate of 90 degrees. Water freezing inside the wood expands the cells and allows the moisture to escape more quickly.
