I put a little bit of the maple on the fire last night before bed. So I woke up to this: A toasty 73 degrees in the house!
I did the same Shawn. Had a fire with a couple splits of pine and smaller Maple kindling before bed. The house was about the same temp this morning as it was when I went to bed. Went down to mid-30's.
28 here this a.m. as well. Had started the fire late yesterday afternoon. Threw a good sized chunk of maple before bed woke up to 72 this a.m. all good. We had a really heavy frost up here as well.
We escaped the killing frost. We are high up on the side of a hill. However our fire was lit and kept us toasty warm while running on its lowest setting.
Still holding in the mid to upper 40's at night around here, 70's day time, calling for 80's saturday. I'll take it !
33f here woods. Coldest yet but calling for a heat wave coming i guess? Got 4 helpers on the go right now grabbing another tree and will post them down in stinnys Giz and Emmas thread when done.
I just opened the windows & sliders last night for the first time this fall...and no it wasn't so I could build a fire
Wow, some low numbers for this time of year. We got to 44 last night, fired up the 602 for a morning fire today. Calling for some warmer temps for sunday.
... when you have to dig outa deep snow like that... do ya have to use a loooooooong handle shovel with heat tape wrapped around it?
I could probably just let Casper out the door running. I'm sure he barrel a tunnel right out to the......well, the rest of the snow. Actually, he'd fast freeze before he got more that a couple inches. Come to think of it, we'd all be frozen before that. Like I said, we're all doomed. What a ray of sunshine I am this evening, eh?
To answer loon's question (and trying to get back on topic), nope. I expect that'll happen here soon enough.
Frost on the windshield this morning, but no fire since it was a work day. That didn't stop me tonight though.
