    Yeah, the cold snap is headed our way. It'll be butt cold this weekend.

    I loaded 4 nice shag splits in the quad. Choocharama!!!!! We'll be just fine here, my wife and I with the 2 labs....

    Huge lazy flames with bit of blue flames at times. I'm bringing a good stack in on Saturday, as it will drop Saturday night.

    A good fairing and heated grips can make a big difference. Before this bike my hands were always the limiting factor for cold weather riding.

    Been fluctuating from -1 to 3 above since 3:30 this morning. First sunshine yesterday that I've seen in weeks (one of the draw backs of living near the GL's). Another day of blue skies on tap.
    Mostly oak , lil maple and 20lbs of coal. Rinse and repeat the rest of winter.

    We went to 24. We are 28 now. Loaded load and some black locust and I think a split or two of hickory last night. And the same this mourning.

    These temps push my stove hard without insulation in the far bedrooms.

    It's 35f here, heading for 41. Pool is frozen over, but the White river's still running.
    Easy heat pellets from Rural King in the hastings, cherry and ash in the princess. It's about 72 downstairs, 70 or so upstairs.
    I don't know bout you guys, but as far as I'm concerned, it can stay like this till spring. Just cold enough to need a fire, no subzero craziness.

    3200 sq ft house, rather large indoor wood furnace. Also the wife wants it at 75 in there, so the wood is a burning!!
