What did pioneers do before there were plastic tarps to cover their wood?!
They split their logs, stacked them in cords for a year to dry out the sap and left them out in the weather.
The next year the wood was relocated to a spot closer to the kitchen door. The "wood shed" wasn't just an expression. It was usually a lean-to attached to the back of the kitchen with a roof and maybe a wall or 2, but open to the elements.
We keep our spilt logs under the deck by our patio door because the wood-burning stove is nearest that door. This deck does allow the weather to get to the wood. As we need it, armloads come in for a day or 2 before feeding the fire.
Once the sap is gone, slightly damp wood isn't an issue.

You must keep them off the ground first off. There are things you can buy for log storage or you can use an old wooden palette or build something yourself. Then simply keep it covered with tarps.

I've always used a tarp. I just place it over the wood, and weigh it down with either a log or brick.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

There are some very convenient firewood covers on the market that come in different sizes. We have bought the last 2 off eBay. Check it out. For us they beat tarps!

Paint each log with exterior paint. Preferably a color that matches the trim on your house. Simply scrape off all paint before use.

Try putting a plastic tarp over them. Depending on how many logs you have, one tarp should do it.

Leave them on the tree until a nice sunny day comes... it's dry, cut it down and away you go... just in time tree cutting.
P.S. Please have your chimney cleaned 4 times per winter as when the sap burns, it creates creosote and causes chimney fires...
Build a wood shed.

Quick, light them on fire before in rains, as fire has a habit of staying dry, even in extreme humidity.
