    Hello

    It is 17.4 Degs out and 71 degs in but feels more chilly while being hit with a Nor'Eastor!

    We are in between the 5-9" swath and 8-14" swath so we may get anywhere from 5-14" ! ! LOL

    How much snow are you getting? How high are you cranking your stove?

    In Stove Temp mode and just turned up the heat setting to 6 with a feed rate of 4 !

    I've been running mine on #3 the past couple nights… temps in the high single digits at nite…

    Mid teens during the day...#2. A few days ago we were below zero so #4 was the answer...

    I'm in the 3-5 and as of right now it seems like four already down and still snowing but
    temps have risen from what they were and it's sleety/freezing rain now.
    Stove has been on 2 and 3 all week with Somersets in the hole. Temps have been up and down. 7F, 15F, 18F,
    the past several nights and some days like today never went above about 18F.

    Got about 5" yesterday. Should get another 3 or 4 today. I think we've had about 14" in the past week. Temps today are going down and winds are picking up.

    The furnace has been on a 1.5 bag a day diet since December 4. House stays a comfy 68.

    He, he around a foot so far and headed for north of 15", it was about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday at 5.8 F but that is also close to what it was last night when I crawled into the bed and pulled the covers over me. Inside it was 68 F the stove doesn't come out of setback mode until 8:00 AM . On the agenda later this morning is canning orange cranberry jelly (can't let the shelf space nor the jars go to waste).

    This will be followed by making Krumkager, Krumkake, or Krumkaagen aka burn your fingertips time.

    All said and done 5" snow topped with 2" sleet which froze everything together making it a helluva shoveling experience.

    Looks to be about a foot so far. Outside temp now up to 13 f, The house is 69f, warmer n the kitchen.
    Haven't been out yet. I am waiting for it to stop before I attempt anything.
    Plow truck just came down our road. He does a good job of leaving a good size header bank at the end of my driveway.
    We are the last home in here on this deadend street.

    I'd say 4-8 on the ground. Not all at once. Couple inches yesterday.
