    30/73. Brought in a couple more wheel barrows of honey locust chunks/uggs.

    Busted one open and let it sit in the basement furnace room for a couple hours.

    Burning down some coals before reload. Posted this on another thread but I get a dense white ash that stays formed pretty well until I push it down the grate. Not fluffy like walnut but it does fall apart easy enough. Not an issue, just an observation. This is my first experience with honey locust.

    2-4” of snow supposed to start any time now.

    I've been burning a bit of HL this year.
    What I notice is that it leaves a ton of coals.

    The forecast of 8-12" snow has once again disappeared to be replaces by 6". Same old song, same old dance. If normal we might get 2-3". Tis okay but I fail to understand why the forecasters always seem to start out with high amounts and then we only get a small amount. I guess they just want to report something big whether true or not.

    Too many different computer models telling too many different outcomes. They pick the worst case model just in case. When they’re wrong they blame the model.

    -25/68

    Fired up at 9:30 in anticipation of the -12 that was predicted.......:picard: I just knew it would be colder with the clear skies and plummeting temps we were experiencing last evening.

    Snow was squeaking and nails were popping!
