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

I like I only need to post a few times here.. My weather usually is the same as Gasifier.

so -7 yesterday; tomorrow is up to 60.. Then back to snow.. I predict ice

 

9 here now.

 

13/72 hard maple.
Big warm up today and tomorrow

 

Freezing rain continues here. What a mess!

Church was cancelled this morning for both Sat and Sun .

 

Hit 72 here today, currently 65. Will be no fire in the stove for a couple days.

 

37 and holding steady overnight. Big warmup coming for Sunday and Monday, so the stove will probably sit idle until Tuesday. Spruce is throwing the heat in the meantime tonight.

 

The forecast for today was mid to upper 50's but it never got out of the 40's with mostly cloudy skies and a bit of rain and fog. Kept the fire going all day.

 

Warmed up to 50 today. Burned some small cherry splits throughout the day. Calling for 70 tomorrow with rain. Seeimg signs of spring everywhere.

 

Good Morning everyone, it's 32 here. Just relit last nights coals with Red Maple, Cherry, and a piece of Red Oak. It's supposed to get up to 60 and rain.

 

25/64

A gust of wind every now and then and we already got our "less than an inch of snow" by about 4 times......

 

36° out this am. Yesterday Milwaukee smashed their old record high of 62° with 66° yesterday. I don't know what the actual high was here where I live, but it felt like it was in the 60's that's for sure. Winds are HOWLING out there. 20-30 mph sustained with gusta to 50 mph. Last night's storm front was crazy, times of thunder and lightning, and the wind was over 70 mph. I had to get my grill cover from the neighbors yard this am, and there's a few small branches down. Glad I burned the fire pit that was full of twigs that I've gathered all winter. I'll have more to pick up.

Again, I'm so happy I took all the Ash trees that died down that were close to the house. It's much better as stacked firewood than as something that can fall on the house and damage it.



Ash and Norway maple in the quadrafire.

74° inside.

 

If it's gonna get to 62 here like they say, it's taking it's time doing it. So far it went from 32 up to 36. Still burning, but rather not be.

 

I think we've got about another month or so of burning. Once it hits May, then fires are infrequent at the start of the month.

I need to time out pulling from my patio stack exclusively. There's a lot of shoulder season wood in that stack, fir, pine, box elder, silver maple and elm. I'd probably rather burn that slowly than have to take that stack and move/ restack it on the wood shed. Speaking of the wood shed, it looks like I'll have a decent amount left over in this year's bay after this heating season. I'll wait until May to tally up usage and planned overs.

 

I'm working on emptying the rack on the front porch. Then i'm going to use what is stashed in the garage. If I still need more I have about a half cord of basswood that I will finish with and start next season with. We burn off and on in April and a little in May.

 

Same here, April & May.

 

Gettin’ warm here! Robins out doing their thing.


Headed to a record breaking 75!
