Its -13c/8f here and Im working through the tail end of a lodgepole pine/doug fir burn. I think Ill do an overnight burn tonight. Ive been so darn sick the last couple of days its been to painful to even think of loading the stove near bedtime. I hade enough kindling to start a fire yesterday morning but not this morning. It was agonizing splitting some this morning. When I felt I was getting sick I should have put up some kindling. I just dont think about it much since the stove doesnt go out very often. I also havent been around these parts much for a few either. Im feeling a bit better tonight so hopefully this isnt the calm before round two.
13 insomnia filled degrees now, feels like 5. May get 7" more today. There's still lots of room for more.
Do you think it's the flu, or a bad cold? The 12 hour pseudoephedrine keeps me going when I get that sick. I hope you feel better.
Here in the Lakes Region (NH) we're at 9 degrees...feels like -4 degrees OWB is full of all kinds of goodness.
Mod 20's now, but warming to mid 40's while at work.. Too cold to not load the stove, going to be too warm to load it if I was at home today. A few left over beech splits and mainly maple for at work burn.
Minus 6° without the wind, probably closer to -20° with the wind chill. I was hoping to get some pictures of the guys doing some logging on my woodlot down the road, screw that we're staying by the woodstove this morning. Lol
it was 0 at 430 up to 6 now... suns out and winds are mild so better than yesterday! oh I am burning DRY wood Woodslave your pups are beautiful and look so happy
Mild here. Upper 20's / low 30's. Two splits of black locust and one split of white oak to get us through the day. No real cold weather in sight.
It was so cold here this morning my rooster came out of the barn with a cape on !!!! 8x10" chunk of hard maple on a heavy bed of coals this morning.
Thanks, still blowing pretty hard here,they should be happy around here, except my lab she wants to hunt every waking moment definitely not a bad thing. Lol
Currently sitting at -3 C feels -9 C (27 feels 16 F) and not much of a fire to shake the chill. It's really gonna suck when our winter comes back in 4-5 days.
I intended to try to plow snow this morning but neighbors would have nothing to do with that. One neighbor called and while on the phone a different neighbor went by and wouldn't you know, he was coming here. Guess I won't plow snow for a while yet. Temperature when he was plowing snow was 5 degrees.
