The answer to #5 is, obviously, as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck.
I recently finished Kate Atkinson's A God in Ruins, which I loved although why I always forget that every Kate Atkinson book has a sting in the tail I don't know, and have started Andrew Delbanco's new book, The War Before the War, which is a history of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 (and of fugitive slave law in general). I might have expected it to be dry (history of a law, hm) except that I heard Delbanco interviewed about it on NPR. It's riveting.
ETA: I'm a little jealous of your experience of this uncommon meteorological phenomenon!
