Is everyone ready for the cold frigid temperatures On the way?

It was 40 degrees Today so I took Advantage and filled everything up to the max, The big racks on the back porch and the bin in the house.

 

I had planned to fill the front porch, but didn't.
The shed is only a few feet from the front door, so no big deal.
Plenty of wood out there, and I'm back to using the Oak. I'll probably turn on the DV heater overnight for the next few days, since the stove struggles when it gets this cold.
Besides, I don't want to do a reload in the middle of the night anymore.

 

I see you're getting cold up there already, In the next few days going to get really cold up there.
The stove took a break today I ran the electric heaters

 

I wish it was cold here

 

I am about sick of this weather! I wish it would get cold enough to freeze the ground and keep it frozen so I could get out ini the woods without tearing everything up.

 

We're ready for another battle with mother nature, loaded to the gills with beech, sugar maple & ash and the pellet stove ready to go.

Dang!! more rain sleet and snow, You guys over there just can't get a break can you

 

Mmmmm. sounds nice, NOT! We're going down to 1 or 2 at night, & teens at best during the day. Ground got a little soft, but not bad. Got the ice off everything at least. Got Oak, Hickory, & Locust ready to go. I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be. A C

 

Yup, loaded up today. Going down to 0 here tonight and that will be the high for the next 5 days. Nights to be down around to high -20's with wednesday night down to -32. Both stoves thumping with 3 yo Red Oak and Sugar Maple.

 

This Friday should be interesting. 18 as a high during the day and 8 at night with 20 mph winds. Which means about -15 with windchill. Definitely switching to hardwood on that day and will have all three stoves going.

 

This year they've been way off on the snowfall totals so I think we're safe, but the generator is still ready.

 

Yea Zap, they're usually off here too. If they call for blizzard we're generally pretty safe, it's when they say a couple inches, or possibly a little freezing drizzle before it changes to snow that you better be ready. A C

 

Man!! Running 3 stoves , sounds like a full time job to me

 

Its not that cold yet put on a headlight and go

 

Get ahold of Sav, he explained how it was working @ his house earlier re: wood retrieval............LOL
