    28* this morning. House was 68 and heat pump running when I got home from work. Started some hackberry and cherry splits. This is a good combo. House is already at 70*.

    The 12" we were supposed to get yesterday never materialized. Good! Ended up with just under 3" overnight...just enough to make you get out and shovel. Temps are 13 now with a couple mild days coming before the sub-zero temps hit.

    Had my drive yesterday and was thankful the snow didn't show up. Nice bare highways for the whole day!

    Minus 6 when so got up. Got the draft open a bit on last night's load of poplar. Will refill and cork it down before I head to work.
    Have a good day all.

    It was almost -30 C with the wind last night, but it warmed up today and so far sitting at -12 C feels -20 C, or 10 F feels -4 F. Poplar in the reactor.

    24° this morning, warm enough in house but needed a restart. Weather guessers saying one thing, internet saying another.

    Winters back, just for a night though as its going to get warm and rainy this weekend, then next week its really winter..

    I brought in wood two days ago in prep for next week. Its 3yr seasoned red oak, and I just lit a cold stove and it took off like a rocket right away. Amazing what an extra year does to oak!

    It’s been sort of warm here the last couple days and melted most of the snow :confused: not to mention a small break in burning! Yesterday and today got back to a bit more normal burned more iffy wood yesterday and just tossed in a few 3 year seasoned white birch splits bogydave would be proud! My first time burning it, so good so far! I’ve got about a cord of it to use and next week a good test for it we are going to the single digits!!:D
    Currently 70 in, 26 out with white birch rolling at 500 stove top

    Tonight's burn will be dubbed "The Kitchen Sink." Overnight load consists of the following.. In a great stroke of wood-nerd-ness I remember where every piece was scrounged from.

    Poplar
    Sugar maple
    White birch
    Willow
    Ash

    Funny thing about wood-nerd-ness I remember the day I got the birch that’s burning tonight! Hot, lots of brush, three truck loads of wood and cost my brother 18 stitches

    38°, won’t be dropping much further than that. Rest of the 7 days are bound to be interesting. Cold as a witch's’ thorax at night. That’s all to report.....
