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

20 F with light snow. Cherry and Beech in the Wood Gun.

 

23/63

5" more since yesterday

 

We’re at 33-34 this morning. Wife opened the draft a bit too far when she left so it’s 76 inside. Bit too warm for my liking so I’ll let it go out for a while. Probably start it again before bed. They say we’re hitting 42 today so hopefully some of the melt won’t make ice rinks. Not supposed to get to freezing till 5am tomorrow and then only for an hour or two.

 

29/77 a stick of ash and elm. Dog's are now both passed out in front of it.

 

Light snow this morning giving way to partly cloudy conditions this afternoon. High near 30F. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Higher wind gusts possible. Tonignt, Clear skies. Low 14F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.

 

Looks like winter is arriving tomorrow. Just got done with a major aquarium kill due to a defective heater, water was 95f. Thinking I will run out, do some splitting and grab some of the locust from the private "Never Use" stash and some more chunky monkeys.

 

What right do you have being colder than us !

 

If you can find a way to revoke this right, I'm all for it! If you can take the snow I'd appreciate it, too. LOL

 

29F for a low this morning. Currently 36F burning juniper and lodgepole.

 

JPDavis I see Prescott is over 5000 ft elevation. Does your snow stick around for long? I visited Scottsdale for Christmas one year and found it interesting that there was a dusting of snow on the hills and heavy snow at higher elevations.

 

We are supposed to get it bad on Wednesday

 

Sean, it all depends on the year. Last year I was shoveling and plowing at least once a week from December through February. In 2019 we had 40 inches come down over a 3-day period that lasted well into March. There are other years when we get almost nothing or it rains more than snows.

 

Only 36 here but the snow just started to fall and temp is dropping. Few logs from a dead standing red oak I cut two days ago in the stove. Life is good.

Sally just came in from playing in the snow.

 

Well it’s 34f with a promise of high 20’s. Same the past several days. It’s like a weather front just laid down like an old dog.
I was scrounging up some splits from last summer in my clear cut, and have a nice load of white oak splits mixed with 4’x4” white oak limbs.
my boiler damper and fan-stopped running and it was the occasional loose wire connecting, requiring removal of the box and cleaning connectors. Couldn’t get to it because we had a two hour trip to a wedding in prairie land farm country north on Indianapolis. ( Clinton County, for curious Hoosiers)

Up and running again. Also have the grill warming up for some 2023 harvest. We had neighbors over for NY eve, and these were a hit.
deer roll ups with a big of cream cheese and banana peppers ( jalapeño too much ) wrapped in bacon . Wife is dairy averse so hers are boring

 

Low 30s down to 25 outside tonight.

Don't usually know exactly what I'm burning, but tonight I know I'm burning ash.
Showing 74 on the thermostat.

 

Beautiful dog said the coyote !
