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

Haha, not that cold right now for here. This is a classic normal low for this time a year. First of the year was colder than it was in decades. We didn't even hit 40 today. Mid 30s maybe

 

I think we hit 24 today, going down to 19.
Was gone a good chunk of the day, and the wall furnace was running when I got home about 5. Knew I should have put more wood in the stove this morning.
Should be easy enough to have a warm-ish house by morning in these temps.
High tomorrow should be 31. The gravity inducing skating rink should be here shortly after.Golly gee, I'm soooo looking forward to that. That's not dancing, it's me trying to avoid the inevitable azz crushing fall.

 

Nice to have that automatic backup though, right?

X2 on that, Low: 16 °F

 

Yep. It was used quite a bit the last billing cycle and the bill only went up about $30.

 

I'm thinking it's a pic pulled off the interweb showing a freeze up in a mechanical room. Pity that job.

 

You must have piped natural gas?

If I just let my heat pump run a tad bit here and there my bill would easy be another $50. My neighbors burn 24/7 also and still use like $200 of propane a month.

 

15 degrees in the city with no pity ... red oak on the menu tonite !

 

You can say that again.

Do you live in the city?

 

31F. Probably gonna throw a few pieces of pine on the coals to spike the house temp, then let it go until morning.

 

25f here. Burning down some small white oak and persimmon rounds , like 1 to 2"s a small white oak split and a hunk or red and red oak split.

 

Coals were light, tossed a locust split that has been sitting there for days.

 

Once that's burned down I will put togeather a load of white and red oak...maybe some persimmon.

 

Yep. Lots of folks up here use propane though.

 

28 here, threw in a mix of Elm & Cherry. Just a few pieces.

 

Just put a full load of mostly Oak in the 30.
Waiting to knock the air back so I can hit the hay.
Still 21 OAT, and 72 IAT at the moment. I expect it'll get warmer in here in a while.

 

been meaning to check in but got sidetracked its +9 out and 73 in here i loaded the stove with maple and oak. suppose to warm up tomorrow to a high of 33 and i hope it melts the snow down because im sick of it.

 

I like the N Fermi balaclava. The next one down leaves too much skin exposed for extreme cold windchill.
The other thing most of us wear for wind or extreme cold. Goggles.
At 45 below ambient, if there is any breeze or if its dead calm but your walking . Your eyes will tear . And the tears will freeze your eyes closed when you blink. No joke. I've froze contact lenses to my eye balls more than a few times.

 

10 above. Poplar.
