    22f and a light load of elm in the princess, a slab of ash across the top. The elm is from the Hillbilly solar kiln, or HSK as we'll call it from now on. That elm goes up like matchsticks now. Supposed to commence with upwards of 7" of snow any minute now. Yay.

    We went back to the Cherry we were burning before the cold weather moved in, we will have enough Cherry to burn late into April, after that it's the Hemlock we have left.

    5ºF and half a load of Pine in the burn chamber. I slept in so long this morning it was completely empty with barely enough embers to stir up and start the Pine I set on top. But it made it without having to get the lighter out.:thumbs:

    Aaaaaa, that will be nice. When it's warm enough to put half a load in the boiler in the morning and again at night before bed.

    Looks like two more minus days in the 10 day but after that things will be looking up. Daytime highs in the upper 30's will be much welcomed. :yes:

    We're at 23 degrees so it's Cherry in the Liberty, we have some colder nights coming in so we have some nice ironwood for that.

    Our 39 with snow and freezing rain/ice forecast for Thursday has been gradually trending down. We are now at 29F high and snow. I'll take it.
    We don't see above freezing until next Sunday, currently forecast for 33 high.
