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

Well, the snow showed up 10 hours early. Normal.

 

We had 37 this morning so we had a fire.

 

Temps dropped to freezing now.

Still snowing those big postcard snowflakes.

 

finally, its not in the mid 70's and the house is actually empty. I have some pine and maple in the stove to make sure that the sealant on my semi hack job install holds. Burning with the windows open to let that nice fall air thats just a little too cold to have them open otherwise.

 

Is it sticking yet?

 

Oh yeah. Ground is white along with secondary roads. All white.

White white white.

Months and months of white. Get used to it.

 

Looks like we are going to cool off. Its great that Halloween will likely be ok for all the little ghosts and goblins! You never know around here.

 

That mirrors pretty close to what we can expect around here over the next while!

 

Days like this are our reward!

 

Your lows will likely dip a bit lower though eh?

 

You would think so, being in the vast frozen wastelands of Sask, but not at all. All in the -10 to -13 C night time temps from Nov. 2nd on. Who knows, a week from now that forecast could be wayyyyy different.

 

Supposed to go down to 30 here tonight. First cold night this season.

 

can see snow on mtns.. but no fire yet still 70 inside.. but I'm ready when wife (the boss ) says

 

Rainy day 50 °F no fire, 43 °F now , Low: 36 °F tonight
A stick of ash and some walnut for overnight

 

The house held its warmth well overnight, but came hone this afternoon to 62, so the beast is choochin. White pine is still the order of the day. Bumped into a real pitchy split that was rocketing black smoke for a few minutes. Ugly, but definitely helped to get the water up from 62 to 175 in a hurry.

 

absolutely! Im in total practice mode. Fire is still going with the doors open, and my belly is full of comfort food. Saw a thread somewhere else about homemade chicken pot pie....had to have it! Pretty damm impressive for my first attempt if I do say so myself.

 

Yum! I dragged the Weber out for some green Chile chicken wings and Korean chicken thighs. But I bashed a knuckle splitting, so have to take it easy for awhile.

 

high of 68...lows not getting to freezing.
Open the windows during the day close up at nightfall.
Will be burning by sometime next week if the forecast holds.

 

Yeah its hard to predict that far out. Yeah one way to find out... wait and see.
