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

I forgot to mention yesterday's snow total.

We got slammed with over 2" of white fluffy powder!

And now, to make matters worse. 99 comes up to me and says we're out of bread!

What? No bread?

Please check in on me before the weekend......

 

Got an electrician to replace the mast and weatherhead and reconnect the feed live that was cut off in the pouring rain yesterday afternoon. They never shut it off.
No one stopped to inspect the permit we didn't get so we're finished.
All back in business, just have to undo some last bit of wiring I did between the two houses for emergency power.

Got a friend coming over Sunday to practice with a chainsaw mill he just got on some downed pine.

Got two pine trees cleaned up on a trail in the woods I use and trunks ready to slab.

Man oh man do I need a chipper. I have a little one but the motor is seized.

 

Agree on getting tired of Winter, few nice days spoiled me. 28F headed down to low 20's. 18 for windchill & a little snow. Supposed to stay colder than average for the next 10 days. Some lows in the teens predicted. Back to Oak & Ash.

 

29°F-2°C , now, 6" of snow on the ground, still snowing lightly.
Got some Maple in the box right now

 

Colder than forecast again, color me surprised. Sitting at -19 c feels -25 c or -2 f feels -12 f so far. Poplar in the stove.

 

28 here now and burning Hard maple & Cherry. We got about 14" of flurries out of the storm. Very wet heavy stuff, Power is out all around us, last I heard 300,000+ in the dark. We lost it for 5 hours and it came back. They're saying days before others get it, trees, & limbs down everywhere.

 

Be safe out there!

 

30ºF outside.
A pine fire so far this morning and we'll have to see how much sun and solar gain we get.
Supposed to be partly sunny with a flurry every now and then. Like yesterday.
Yesterday we burned some maple and oak and pine. Probably do the same today. Kinda picking thru the stacks that got soaking wet for drier stuff. I need a northeaster-proof wood shed.

 

billb3 got a 13? Hp Honda runs great off Karachi pressure washer PM me if you think it will fit your chipper..

 

20F this morning. Colder than I thought it was going to get. Maple and what looks like a few pieces of Oak in the boiler.

 

Glad you were fortunate to only lose power for a few hours. It can be a pain when lost for a long time. Hope all goes well for your clean up in that area. Those wet/heavy snow storms can make a real mess, like ice storms.

 

Briggs Intek IC206 7.0HP , I used to know the output shaft size. I'd have to start over.
I used to chip pine branches with it and it would swallow them green ( up to a certain size) like nothing, but dried up it would bog down. Oak-fuggetaboutit.

 

27
We've been getting dumped on the last 48 hours . 20" or better on the ground. Been a fairly uneventful winter here in the snow belt. Was hoping we were in the clear as far as ground accumulation.
Maple oak and coal in the gullet of the beast.
Only a few more days of wood in the wood room and I'll have to refill. I half refilled back the end of Jan and will do a half fill again.
I've been teetering on the edge of moving for about a year. Don't want to have to remove wood from the wood room if I move.

 

We were around 30f this morning. Been burning redoak steady since the weekend.

 

That's a nice offer from you

 

Lots of scrounging wood at least!

 

Here we are, week 14 of January, and still chilly.

Sitting at -20 C feels -28 c, or -3 F feels -19 F. Poplar in the stove. One thing I've been noticing is solar gain in the daytime. Even in this old tin can it takes the edge of the chill.

 

Wednesday I drove through a neighboring town 12 miles north. They are right on top of the lake plateau and it dumps a little harder that here. The firehall always posts the snow total for the year. They were at 189" as of that day. I was kinda surprised it was that high but we are know to get 280-320 a lot of years. It seems like it's been an open year as far as snow total. I'll take 189 ! It seems like nothing compared to 300ish!
