    It was snowing at 7:30 this morning. Was supposed to start late today. Now it’s almost 9:00 and it looks like the sun is coming out. We will see how the rest of the day goes.

    We have no idea what’s going to happen here yet. It’s safer to look out the window than to trust a forecast.

    Not sure but I'm guessing you have been a lot below normal for your temperatures this winter?

    We had snow all morning and part of the afternoon yesterday but don't think we got much over an inch or two. Another fresh covering overnight. Looks pretty outside but I'm still patiently waiting for spring. Never used to feel this way but maybe it is age; now I really look forward to spring and warmer weather with no snow or ice.

    Sure, give the stove all the credit and none to the rare form of red oak : The Loaf.

    I can't seem to find much white in the part of the pile I am in.

    I do have a big stack...maybe a third a cord of persimmon. Supposedly has higher BTU's than both red and white oak. But the stuff I burned in the cold snap didn't seem to heat as well as just red? But maybe it was so cold it didn't matter...need to give a few more mostly stove fulls of it to see. This was a big tree too, maybe 18" dbh so there is some good dense heartwood.
