-10 w/ WC -32 .... Red Oak holding ... But this is the coldest I remember for a Long time... they usually forecast it, but usually -3 or -4 is rock bottom... Buts its Clear, calm, and snow cover... Perfecto....
32/73 black locust shorts. Starting tomorrow highs in the 20's and lows in the teens until next weekend when it gets colder. Strange for northern New England to be so much warmer than many places.
Just went out to check and water the rabbits. Temp is hovering between -15 and -20⁰ F. No idea on windchill. It's cold. The rabbits don't seem to mind much. They're hopping around like it's a spring day. I had to pet the ones that needed scritched. Even the babies were out. The waters freeze clean through in a few hours, so we water several times a day.
25 here. Hard Maple and Yellow Birch this morning. The wind was nasty last night, and made the wood gun eat through a whole burn chamber full of quality hardwood from 8:30-5:45. Glad I was heating with oil.
-12f/68f. The windchill is pretty stiff this morning. Got the stove rolling with some sugar maple and birch.
18/70 a stiff wind of over 20 mph and 2 to 3 in of snow. Heading down for a reload of red oak and sugar. Boiler is running. We are greeters at church and I have a guess that there will be some empty seats.
Don't let negative talk like that fool you. Someone having problems like that just does not know how to run the stove. A good example is the coaling factor. I've even read where folks actually shovel hot coals out of the stove so they have room for more wood! Nuts! Yes, I noticed that coaling problem right away when we got our Fireview...but then I quickly figured out the best way to run the stove. No more problem. Also one does not need to constantly be cleaning the cat. Occasionally is more like it. We've has our Fireview for 16 or 17 years now and before that we had a few older stoves. Since getting this stove we no longer have a problem staying warm and we keep our home around 80 all winter. But we don't get super cold; the coldest we've had here was -28.
Our house don't do so good when we get below 0 Guess I should've stayed up all night and kept feeding the stove. Stove room was 64 when I went to bed so we lost 20f overnigt
10f/ 70f steady 20 mph wind. Threw a couple splits of poplar on the remainder of the load from last night to burn down the bigger coals before we do another full reload of Osage orange, locust, and ash/ sugar maple for the day.
After reading some of the posted temps, I feel like Im living at the equator. Currently 27, not sure WC. Lows suppose to be mid to low teens. Tired of the wind. Keeping me out of the woods. BL and oak mix Everyone be safe! Those temps are no joke.
1F outside. Supposed to be warming up starting tomorrow. Normal temps would be like 17/35. Burning lodgepole and black locust.
Hearthstone Manchester In a finished basement, it’s not quite enough when you have -30f -40f wind chills. At least according to the wife it’s not enough. Ran it pretty hard and steady yesterday, I was downstairs making firestarters and sweating, she was upstairs working on a jigsaw puzzle complaining about being cold. Also had the heater in the living room on and it was 68+ up there
As of 04:30. -4 / 72. Full loads of oak and madrone. For us this is a rare and extreme cold, haven’t seen the likes since ‘07. There’s a stiff breeze but no idea how wind chill formulates since we never use it. Burrow in like ticks Hoarders, stay safe, stay warm. Owl
