    Still windy here. Usually, by this time of the day, the winds have eased up to just about nothing.

    We've had everything but nice weather today....Snow, rain overcast, winds....you name it.

    Burning one run a day on the boiler now. Light it up mid afternoon for showers and dishes in the evening...sometimes the house needs a little heat overnight.

    Shut if off first thing in the morning and let the fire go out, harvest some nice lump charcoal for cooking right before lighting it up again. It makes really good charcoal....going to get a couple metal trash cans to store it in this week.

    20 for the overnight low and it still has to warm up enough to get out of the 20's yet!

    Plus, (or minus) a cold wind form the north northwest leads to someone telling me....."This will be my only walk today!" :salute:

    This weather has been totally crazy today. Started with rain and wind. Been 20 mph gusts but that has been steady all day long. Then cleared up and sunshine
    Then snow joined the sunshine. Then a blizzard. Start it all over again minus the rain. It has been wait 10 minutes and it will change.

    Sounds like you are getting our weather from yesterday. We had sun then rain, then sun, then thunderstorms, then sun........all served up with a big helping of high winds. The local airport reported winds over 40MPH and 90 miles north had winds over 60. There were a few trees that came down north of us but it wasn't too bad because of no leafs on the trees yet.

    Ice off and wind combination on the south shore Lake Mille Lacs MN yesterday during the same weather system. When this happens entire buildings can be destroyed or even moved off their foundations. I don't know the final outcome of this particular incident, but hoping for best for this family. At least there is time to get out the way, unlike some weather.

    31 currently in Northeast Pennsylvania....Good thing I tossed in 3 ATV carts full into the wood bin about 2 weeks ago....Ash, maple and birch left in the bin. I can't believe it is still this cold. Not really complaining though, I like that I am getting a few more weeks of burning in. And of course I am behind with the garden prep, so this weather is buying me some more time.
