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

Wrap up good, maybe it will warm up a bit.

 

26° this morning when I left for work. This was a couple
days ago. Drolet Blackcomb doing a good job...


1 long split in the back and some 2 yr old oak chunks in the front

 

40, cloudy, breezy. Still burning soft maple. Still have a couple weeks worth left and it's gone.

 

Hope you get a nice big 12 point eastern count

 

Too bad u hadn't duct taped your face that would be exposed to the wind. That stops wind driven frost bite. But 45 below is seriously cold to be out on a snogo

 

I had on a full face as well as a balaclava and a sled suit but the snow dust got inside the helmet and froze my face. You don't 'feel' it until it starts to defrost. Same with the fingers. No liquid courage either, which was unusual for me back then. I've had enough of that stuff and it's snowing here (looking out the window).. Back then I ran an AC Thundercat 1000 triple. Had a 150 mph clock on it and it would do 150 with enough liquid courage. Dang lucky I'm still here. Just fond memories now.

 

Really, it's all about the gear you wear. And having good food in ya.

 

This morning at 9:30 I refilled the stove at 5 this morning with an 8" white spruce and a 4" black spruce rounds and went back to bed.
Wife got up at 6 this morning and didn't add any. Had Huge coals when I added at 9:30.

 

37f and gusty here. Woke up to find the roof of one of the log stores blown off; thankfully it’s not going to be too wet over the next few days. Big chunks of pine in the stove.

 

Yeah, that qualifies as cold . 28F & light snow here.

 

I know right they are predicting 1/2 inch of snow and there's a winter advisory , come on it's Michigan

Got about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of snow here 30 degrees out 76 degrees in the stove room

 

It's warmed up to 21 below. Feels quite warm in comparison. !
Been burning black spruce all day. Save what Aspen I have left for overnight.

 

It's 36 now getting to 28 by morning. Mixing some white oak with ash overnight.

 

28 outside 71 inside just threw two big nasty box elder splits on.

 

30 out right now with... You guessed it, basswood and maple keeping the OWB warm.

 

Currentlyb-22°F ambient.
Winds calm
Just loaded the stove with a 7" and a 5" round of Aspen.

Having to run a bit more draft to keep the house livable so I drink a big glass of water just before bed. An almost guaranteed 4 hour silent , mandatory get up, alarm clock.

 

12/71
shorts and uglies

 

Chunks and shorties,
Oak and a little elm thrown in.

I kind of like them; easy loading the stove and leave some really nice coals.
Getting near the end of them then on to the normal splits.
Makes no sense to take them to the Stump Dump, so they get burned. No waste.

 

32F here and calm wind. Oak and Ash. Snow won't last long but it sure is pretty.
