    The weather guessers were right, it is cooling off, it's 19° outside now and still 74° inside. I am going to cram the hog full of Beech in a few minutes, as I have class tonight, and I don't want to be outside any longer than necessary when I get back.

    Just wait until this cold we have here blows across lake Michigan. It's butt cold today. It hit a high of 8° here, and it's at 6° already and dropping fast with no clouds to hold the "heat" in. This am it was 4° inland a little bit.

    Loading with beech, and maybe a piece of ironwood.

    In this temp, my furnace comes on very sporadically. It went on once today, once just as I got home, and once this am as I left this morning.

    Not bad. Not bad at all.

    First real dose of winter showing up this week. Calling for 10 tonight and single digits the next couple nights after that. Just loaded the stove with enough hedge to launch it into orbit.

    Bought a foot on the ground. Deep enough where you want to make sure you have boots on when you get off the beaten path.
    even considered going snowshoeing last Sun. (Right!)

    The last batch we got was pretty fluffy and settled quite a bit already.

    I am finally getting over being chilled today!

    Unfortunately not. It was running about 20 k this morning, but it never let up, in fact it got worse! It was gusting for a few hours and settled down, then went back up. Sitting at -21 C with 30 k wind gives a windchill of -34 C

    Englander 17 pulling for all it's worth lol. If the forecast is right the weather should break on the 18th.
