Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

But just a small chill,eh Rope?

 

When I filled the boiler early this morning it was a bit cooler and I thought it was closer to zero. Was shocked when I looked at the temp.

 

I hope the forecaster is wrong! Its white here now. Good enough. Another 6 to 18 is noooooooo good

 

Heading to 0 here tonight near Saratoga NY. Been in the teens all day. Left this morning and the house was 72. Got home at 4:30 was down to 65. Climbing back up now with locust and oak stuffed in the Quad. 7100fp. Cooking dinner and watching a movie with the kids. Not doing much tonight which is nice.

Winter has returned! In the teens now with snow. It has been a looooooongggg- azz week at work and I am glad to be home. Even more glad that my wife kept the fire going all day. House is a very comfortable 72 and we're burning white and red oak. I think I will have a beer and snooze in front of the fire tonight. Peace.

 

Posts like that make me know why I like you Dave

 

You're a good man, Sir.

 

Mid 20s, was quite breezy today, wind has let up for now. Came home from work and son had stove back up to temp with mix of cherry and BL. Split and stacked some BL this evening, came in and that stove heat felt so nice. Room @ 73 and enjoying the fire with some Kentucky bourbon.

 

Nice secondary burn on some black jack oak
Don’t expect this to hold any over night coals or it’s just seasoned to far ~5yrs

 

NOAA is calling for a low of -8 but I think we'll get colder since it's -3.1 already. Since we heat from the basement, I'll let the stove go cold and use the furnace tonight.

We'll get back burning wood in the morning.

 

I cry foul, get some wood in that box Zap.

 

The wood stove in the basement just won't get up here hot enough to knock down the humidity so when it's cold like this the furnace is our best option to do that.

We'll still burn less than a quarter of a tank by the time we're done.

I do like having multiple ways of heating the house, propane fireplace with fan, pellet & wood stove and the furnace. We don't burn when we're not here so the furnace temp usually gets set on 64 when we're gone.

 

Here it comes.


We are to get snow tomorrow am before this bigger part of the storm hits in the afternoon. The local TV stations around here fully know how the lake effect snow can drop mass amounts of snow on certain areas, so they'll just say 6+" or so. It gets interesting when the lake is not frozen over, which is nearly all the time.

I've got a whole gorilla cart filled with wood in the garage. Bring it.

29° out 75° in. Burning ash now, but about to put in ash, Norway maple, and maybe some locust for overnight.

 

14F here & dropping, clear & calm. It was a beautiful day out sunny & 25 with no wind. Knocked over about 20 trees for cutting tomorrow, perfect weather! We'll see what the storm brings later tomorrow. White Oak in the boiler.

 

-4/69 Hardhack

 

8°f this morning. Coldest one of the year. Looking at a storm to hit late Sunday night thru Monday. 6”-9” expected.

 

-24* with spruce keeping it @ 72* in the house.
