    They say 2 degrees outside on the weather channel. Yesterday's truck never broke the minus mark. Cold, foggy and the roads are icy.. Leaving to go to nieces wedding today. Stove will be cold. NG for today. :(

    It's 21 degrees here today, the house is 70.

    I'm burning down the coals in the Liberty so I can take the ashes out so the Pellet Stove is still going.

    20 degrees down here in the south. Same hail, only 3-4" accumulation. The cows look stunned. Town plowed the driveway for the first time this season (they sanded a few roads once, a week or two ago).

    We have sleet coming down pretty good at the moment with about 4 inches of snow.

    It was a sheet of ice around midnight last night, but with this storm pockets of warm air melted things and went above freezing this morning. Heavy rain, loaded the stove with hickory and hard maple.

    Right where I want to be.
    The last 3 days, the forecast held steady that we'd get 2-4" from this little storm.
    I'm thinkin'......ok, no problem.
    I gotta' quit thinkin' and relying on In-Accuweather. We ended up with somewhere around 8-9". Where's FEMA? :whistle: Never did get any of the ice/sleet though, so that's gooder.
    House was just under 70 this morning with an OAT of 31. I pulled up the coals, laid a chunk of what I think was Ash on, and let that run for a couple hours to keep the temp up.
    It was still burning, but I added a couple medium splits of Maple a couple hours later, and now, about 5.5 hours later, we're still at 72 in the house. OAT has dropped to about 26.
    I still have 1/3 cord of Red Maple I'm messing with and using almost exclusively with a slight bit of Oak and Ash thrown in.

    I hooked up the plow to the Rhino to do some areas that are easier to do with the Rhino, everything is soaked but most of the plowing is done.

    I had to stop and scrap three times so I could see, freezing rain today with wet heavy snow overnight.

    I better get about 4 bags of sand for the back of Ford S/D 250 so I can push the wet heavy chit further into the woods.

    They're calling for another 3-7 tonight, anything over three inches we'll take the sleds out on our property just to pack down the trails.

    Ended up with enough snow overnight and throughout the day to be called "dusting" almost. Didn't get a thing of what they were banging the storm warning drum about.

    I bet heads are gonna roll for them being wrong!
