It's minus eight tonight with it trending down, it's 77 in the basement and 70 up here. We have both the wood & pellet stove going.
5º outside and 75º upstairs (should put a thermo. in the stove room) guessing 80ish. Heading to the stove to put in something along the lines of oak, locust, hickory, sugar maple....whatever will fit.
Just another 4 degree morning here. Loaded with Hickory last night at 8 and it is still going strong at 6am house is 71. Man that 5 year old hickory has some serious BTUs!
Dropping down to almost -40 F with the wind chill here tonight but back up to just below freezing by Monday
We had a regular temp of -14 this morning, with the snow and the wind coming in we'll hit -40 for a realfeel temp. 4 miles north of us this morning they had a temp of 0 when we were at -14.
4 early 11 now About 8" of snow in the last few days. Odd for the belt. Tuesday they were calling for 2-3' by Sat. Prolly fill the wood room today. Coal buckets for sure. Coal and oak in the gullet of the beast.
We have two days of cold, then a whole bunch of -10 to -15 C coming up. Not as balmy as your weather, but I'll take it.
I am at 2f right now but the wind chill is -17f. Wasn't too nice out there this morning. The temps will continue to drop along with the wind chill. Warnings of -30 wind chill are out for later. It isn't as bitter as it would be if the real temp was -30 and then add (subtract) the wind form that!!!
It's about 10° right now, up from 0° this morning and we're looking at -10 tomorrow and even colder on Sunday. Nothing but red oak in the stove for the weekend here, need some badass BTUs to keep the house warm!
