    I saw that. Mild temps should equal less snow.

    Kinda glad I didn't splurge on that tractor with cab and front mount snowblower!!!

    46F here in north Georgia at 6pm.
    Forecast 31F in the morning. 62 in the house when I got home and lit a fire. 68 now an hour later. Will be 75 inside by 8pm if I stoke it again. Our thermostat is set in the kitchen hallway, so it's probably closer to 80+ in the living room when the fire has been rolling along for awhile.

    Update, for the record , as I'm new to wood burning, 72 at 8pm and holding steady. This is started cold from hardwood kindling, several 2 to 3-finger width splits and one 4"x3"x14" log.

    Came home to a 61 degree house. Lit up right away at 5 with red oak, then added a couple bricks. Got it up to 66 in about 2 hours.

    Got an inch of faller’s delight today. Minus 1 C. Going to bring home a load of pine tomorrow morning from the sawmill I work at. Bug kill lodgepole. Still burning sap rot fir. We just been making two smudges a day so far this fall. I hope I have enough shoulder season wood to last until the end of the shoulder season.

    I can see why people love Black Locust. It's some nice burning stuff.

    11/66 and warming up. Maybe too many coals this morning. I think I could of burned hotter and the house would have been warmer. Will test tonight!
