    Got to -4F overnight. Stove was out this morning and the boiler was carrying the house in the low 60's. Started a pretty aggressive fire with maple, mostly uglies and pieces and the stove really took off; got the stack temp. to 730F and for the first time that I know of, the stove top temp. cracked just over 700F. Brought the inside temp. up 7 degrees in an hour and still climbing. The water pots on top of the stove are doing a slow boil.... have not seen that before either.

    Morning, I don't know how cold it got last, cause I slept in till 9:30. It was -2 then when I got up. It was -5 when I went to bed. So it was probably near -10. Maple in the stove now.

    Bingo! A 70 degree jump in temperature is big time for sure. A chinook that no doubt is very welcome.

    The humidity indeed will get your attention but the first thing that got mine is that temperature! We read a few times when someone claims to keep their home in that temperature range (high 50's or low 60's) in the winter even when below zero outdoors. Personally I do not believe it. To keep a home at that temperature even in the summer is ridiculous. However, yes, if there was a problem and not getting heat for a short time, that's okay as it is fixable. Not all things are fixable. Okay, rant over.

    Looks like last night will be the last below zero temperature for us for a time and good riddance! Present temperature is a relatively warm 19 and we should get into the 20's yet today. Promise for a much warmer week coming. Bad part is we may even get some rain. Our hope is that the rain and warmth is enough to get rid of all the snow so we don't have to drive on ice. But, we have plenty of sand on hand here to spread if need be.

    that temperature is right next to a window over the kitchen sink.
    I think I'd need to keep the house close to 80 to make that show something you wouldn't think is ridiculous.

    I have the same problem where mine is. when the house is at 75-79°. When we're running on oil we keep the thermostat at 68°. Outside temp is now 8° And everyone is cold. Turned it up to 70°. This month's oil bill is going to be outrageous. Tomorrow it should be warm enough to start the stove again. Don’t have to worry about freezing pipes. Then we can actually be warm.

    A relatively balmy -1 c feels -8 c or 30 f feels 17 f. Too much wind though but stove is throwing heat easily. Not long of a warm up as I'd like, as we get back to or below normal by Tuesday.
