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

2f here. Get to work on a drive-thru display this morning.

 

19⁰ here and windy. 10⁰ drop in 4hrs.

Right now, a piece of black locust with some red maple to keep it company.

 

4/65 and burning 3-yo beech I was saving for a cold snap like this. 65 feels like a furnace after being outside!

Winds are going to be cranking for the next 36 hours! Waiting to see if we break any records today or tomorrow for ambient low or windchill.

 

I heat with a wood boiler also and there circulators and a blower fan for the combustion chamber - so it needs power.
The wind work me up at 4AM so I walked out to the generator building and plugged in the block heater just in case. It's a diesel and these temperatures are nothing to fool around with. So far so good but last Thursday the power went out for no obvious reason - for 13 hours!
We're down to 5, nice and sunny but blowing pretty good. The shop is @ 58, a good temp for chasing down a fuel leak on the SS.

 

Today is not the day to crack the window

-18 and breezy

 

Might be the last couple days of winter.

 

It takes a lot to get me out of bed at 4AM. It takes even more for me to go outside in the winter at 4AM. I would be looking into a wifi plug for situations such as that (assuming your wifi reaches down there).

 

The prospect of a very cold house is a powerful motivator

 

-15 this morning and I'm breaking out the red oak.

 

Wish!

 

Temps dropped to -20 before they began the ascent today!

-9/69 now.

 

-6 here now, Black Locust and Red Oak, as well as the pellet stove which I'll be shutting down shortly.

 

2/67. -19 in the forecast for tonight.

Winds are howling off the lake.

 

But it's a dry cold!

 

There ya go!

 

In Beautiful Muskoka On. -22*c sunny, oak in the stove, brrr cold! warmer weather coming Sunday

 

6\69 and the wind is OMG fierce! Outside temps supposed to bottom out later tonight around 0. The Ideal Steel is chewing away on black locust and ash. In this kind of weather I have to burn it full-on-hard. Three firebox loads per day. Right now ~6pm is the low - between loads - things will start to warm up a bit inside. It will probably reach 72 by time for bed when I stuff it as full as I can.

 

5*/64 @ 4pm with the wind whipping. I had turned the oil up to 60 just in case the day went south. So yeah, some dinosaurs escaped the tank, but the bathroom pipes are good! -14/74 @ 6pm. I started the shop stove for the neighbor so his water hopefully won't catch. Guess I'll probably have one more walk to the barn and back to check on Moe. I think the old dog will stay on the couch for that one.

 

...........Sugar Maple/ Beech
Temps +what's burning, sorry.

 

19⁰ and dropping. Low for tonight is around 12 with a windchill of -8. Grandma bear in the basement is rockin with a load of red/white oak and the hastings in the living room is on level 3. Living area is 72⁰ and basement is 85⁰ .
