    Glad to hear from you, hadn't heard your weather reports lately. :( .... Kinda of enjoy hearing about the weather up there. Well it sounds like it's time to hunker down with those winds.

    Wondering if when you put the roof on, did you use nails and adhesives?
    High winds = good day to stay out of the woods.

    It is because the wind chill charts were revised last year. Air still feels the same but the charts are different.

    I was wondering how much more light you're getting. At over 1/2 hour a week, you'll be there in no time!

    Been on a 24 hr. stove load/pattern here for the last week or so. Weird weather, too warm for this time of year. But we had some winds also, hit over 60 a week ago. I stayed inside, it's no fun being outside when it does that.

    Forecast to warm up to mid 30°s starting Wednesday.
    Hope that's the straw that breaks the cold & wind for this winter.
    Maybe get some snow :)
