    Looking forward to a three day weekend myself, four days to go! Been having a blast cooking on the Drolet, refilling the humidifier kettle, and other wood tasks-- except hauling it, thats less fun. Going to try to squeeze a little more wood into the basement this weekend and then call it good for the year.

    18 here :shiver: - luckily we missed most of the "Lake Effect" snow that others in my area saw - couple guys at work got 2' overnight! I work in an old warehouse that was converted to an office building - barely 60 degrees in here... Thinking I may head home at lunchtime and work from my nice warm wood-heated home office! :fire:

    Shawn, that must be nasty if you are sitting on the job with that temperature. Wear your hunting clothes?!

    We got down to 9. Had the stove cooking pretty good for a while at 670 degrees. Overnight the house temperature dropped to 70 which is lower than we usually let it go. However, no problem getting it back up even with the cold wind outdoors.

    8 here this morning, 72 in the house when we got up at 7pm. , an hour later than usual, school is on a 1 hour delay after being closed due to 6" of snow yesterday. Tossed on a split of hackberry and two oak splits on a great bet of coals and just kicked back doing this :rofl: :lol: :pwhen I think about how much propane prices are going to go up because winter came over a month early and with a vengeance!

    29 here but the wind is whipping through these parts today. It fells a lot colder. Got both the Englander 30 and the Breckwell P22 going. Oak, cherry and ash on the 30 and Stove Chow's on the P22. Generator full of gas and about 10 gallons on the shed in case we loose power due to high winds.
