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

We had 14 when we were having coffee, it's dropped to 9 with the temperature trend heading south.

We're just burning the wood stove today. The temps upstairs this morning were 72 and the basement was 76.

 

Sitting at -21 C (-5 F) before the wind, -30 C (-22 F) with the wind. Burning poplar as always, and wondering why the weather network can't seem to predict the weather any further ahead than a day.

 

That's how I feel when I read a lot of these posts, all the exotic (to me anyways) woods being burned and here I am the happy peasant with poplar.

 

Beatiful sunny day here with temp around zero. Winter storm warning starting at noon on Friday going to 6PM on Saturday. We may get 6-12 inches of snow and a little bit of wind to blow it around. Burning some oak and elm.
It is helping today that the wife is baking up some winter squash. Adds a bit of heat and humidity to the house.

 

Stuck at work. My wife says I have to keep going. Stove sitting idle.

 

Cold here as well this afternoon, and wind. Currently around 12 on the back porch. They have issued wind chill advisories for about next 19 hours. 4pm-11am. Temperatures overnight to go to possible -5 and wind of 10-15mph with gust up to 25. Wind chills could get to -22.

Burning some Elm, Maple, and a few small splits of what looks like Oak.

 

Ha. They just lowered the possible temps to -8 and changed it to stronger winds of 10-20 with gust of up to 35mph. With wind chills of 20-30 below.

 

Low was 4 °F 63 inside this morning, burnin ash w a piece of oak n shagbark now 11 °F out, Low: 0 °F tonight.
Wind died down some was 25 mph, 13 mph now

 

The last of the cherry rack we have inside is all smaller rounds of some very nice sugar maple and some beech. The basement temp is 79 and it's 72 up here.

I have been running the pellet stove today along with a fire this morning in the liberty and the above fire.

The last I looked at the outside temp it was 8 with the winds gusting pretty good.

The basement hit 80 so I shut the pellet stove off until 8 or 9.

 

-11c and -23c with the wind burning box elder full bore just to get the house up and then some silver, cherry and beech.

 

Lake effect snow bands got us pretty good this morning. 13° and the snow globe settled down, for now. I just tossed some ash and beech in the boiler, I will pack it full after the Wings vs Kings game.

 

We hit -2 since my last post. It's still 79 in the basement and 71 up here.

 

Looks like winter is showing up for a lot of my neighbors to the south. Stay warm down there! I'll keep this here fire raging.

 

2 degees F. Burning oak! Stove running wide open! My family loves winter. Toasty warm inside! Ground covered with beautiful snow!
