It warmed up outside to 23° reloaded the oakleaf. Sleet and snow knocking on our door with freezing rain coming in behind it with an upwards of .2" of an inch.
Woke up to it being 34 outside. And it was 72 inside the house without the heat running. That is such a huge difference from what I was experiencing. Man, that old place was drafty.
47 right now, calling for 54. Still needed a small fire to take out the chill. IAT is bouncing between 66-68, until the stove gets choochin'.
No fire today ... bummer! 50 now and only going down to 42. Emptied the ashes and cleaned the Fireview's glass - not the black stuff, only this fine light haze that develops over a period of 4-6 weeks of burning. Won't fire up the stove until tomorrow morning.
I'm heading out to take a pic..... standby, I'll need an id The ice this morning was horrible! So many wrecks, small town, everone knows everyone, and we lost a store owner this morning in a wreck. I93 was completely shut down heading through the notch.
Ice and freezing rain is nasty, traffic here went from 60 mph to a crawl instantly when the freezing rain started...
Ya, the chit sucks! Maple wanted to get hooked up to a dog sled, but i turned her down. She was worried i wouldn't get back home to feed her
Next time leave her extra food and tell her she can't get into unless you don't get there at your regular time then she can have it...
Thx..... Hopefully these temps stay above freezing overnight, or we may have a repeat tomorrow morning. It's rained so hard that there's no way there's any salt left on the roads. Even the sand they put down has washed away.....
Temp read 35 on the way home from work, but I bet it felt like 5! Ma, some sorta cold that went straight through ya!
Clear up to 65º today was almost down to my underwear and orange hunting vest, had a nice one come in from behind me, when it got beside me the only shot I had was with the deer between me and the property owners house (hunting an old stand that I rarely use), had to let it go. Still hanging in the mid 50's and supposed to get to 60º tomorrow with a 90% chance of rain, no fire until Thur. when it gets cold again. Going to take the wife shopping at Grove City PA tomorrow instead of sitting out in the rain up a tree.
