Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

You still have any snow on the ground?

 

BigPapi congratulations on the up and coming future stacker! Hope mamma has a good delivery. A new addition to the family is a magical time for sure!!

Were a mild 28f/-2c but the stove has been going for a few days now. It was 21f/-6 this morning. Ive had lodgepole pine, doug fir and spruce in the stove today. Im burning down a few coals now to do a larch over night burn shortly (its always larch). We are expecting lows around -7.5f/-22c next week so the stove will be choochin good then!

 

Snow and upper 20's. Just a touch of breeze and some nice oak maple going in the OWB this dark morning.

 

Well it's 43 degrees outside and all the snow is gone. We had our winter last week and glad to see spring is finally back. Going to put up the swimming pool this weekend and get the lawn tractor ready for another long hot summer.........

 

38 f in Possum Hollow. I've been burnine pellets at night and letting the little propane fireplace carry it during the day . it's been in the fifties here up till today. Not one fire in the Princess yet. I am NOT complaining .

 

After the heavy rains last night and the temps at 45 this morning we just have patches of the white stuff hanging around.

Nothing in the wood stove this morning.

 

Thats a bummer. Do you cover your stacks that are used for this winter?

 

Looks like really cold weather is on its way to most of the US.

Record cold coming to ‘almost entire USA’ – Low temperature records set to be SHATTERED

 

Im thinking Saturday for a fishing trip on the river with my 11 year old son. At least it will be only a few degrees c below freezing but will be 20c colder a few days later! also once it gets cold we have lots of ice chunks floating down the river before it freezes over.

 

Yup, the good old Canadian winter is gonna roll in like a boss!

 

propane

but man I forgot how nice it was to have warm even heat throughout the house for the past 7 years

 

Youll get it colder than me no doubt!

 

I use tarps for top covering as well as plywood. I have a few racks with 2 x 4 sides and plywood tops that are much better than the tarps but its hard to construct that on 35 foot runs. A wood shed would be great. I look forward to seeing pics of the construction!

 

37 outside. Burning elm in the quadrafire. It's nice and warm in here, and the furnace hasn't turned on yet.

 

Wish I could say the same thing. I had a long day today away from the house so let the fire go out. Its -1c I think and the furnace was running when I came home. Ive just started a top down fire and will load er up with pine or fir in a bit and then larch around 11 pm. Never burned elm. Wish I had more selection out here.

 

All my this wintahs wood is in garage and in covered entyway....I am golden...

 

Bound to hit sometime! It's already messing with our heads, so warm and yet dark so soon. The little wood reactor is ready to stretch it's legs any day now.

 

Kind of a sloppy wet lazy snow that has been falling for the last 24 hrs or so. Most of it will melt, maybe 2-3 accumulation so far. With the breeze, it feels like it is in the upper teens.

More oak into the OWB for warm house and hot water.
