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

Currently sitting at -2 C or 28 F. A few snowflakes falling, and I'm wondering why I didn't grab a deer tag already for muzzle loader season. This weather would be perfect for hanging deer.

 

Back to the mid 80s here with night temps in the mid 60s low 70s and unfortunately the dew point suppose to start climbing back up also

 

Winding down the evening in front of a doug fir fire listening to classic judas priest. A full day of snow fall is in store for tomorrow but nothing to crazy. The leaves are in full display but the ground isnt frozen yet which is good because I need to punch in some fence post holes in the next few.

 

We’re stuck in the rainy and raw lower 50’s so I kept the fire going overnight for the first time. I loaded it about 3/4 full of beech at 7 pm and had a nice active bed of coals at 5:30 and 400 on the stovetop thermometer. Stir it up, add a piece of pine and some beech and in 10 minutes we’re closed up and cruising again. It seems to like a draft setting of around .65 - .75 so far in this mild weather.

 

65* this mornin...humid....dew point is 69*...yuck. Hopefully i can get my mowin in today before it rains.

 

Some rain today but still kinda warm, the mid 70's this week and next week , should be ok to cut some wood next Monday if it doesnt rain , have a great day FHC

 

I'm done with the heat as well as all the rain we been getting.

 

Wait til the snow and cold show up.

 

I prefer that anyday from the hot and humidity , hows the weather by you papadave

 

Same here, until it gets below 0.
Rainy and cool for a few days. Not sure where Mohegan Lake is, but maybe some of this will be headed your way in a day or 2.

 

Mohegan Lake is about 1 hour northeast of New York City. We are in for the mid 70's until the middle of October after that only mother nature knows

 

Sure is a wonky year weather wise. Even Calgary (about 7 hours west of here) which usually has decent weather, just got snow overnight. Our 14 day forecast looks to be no better than 5 C or 41 F for highs, and about -4 C or 24 F for lows depending on the day. Wednesday night is supposed to be a few degrees colder than that though.

 

Polar Vortex is startin to hum....

 

Still above 45F most nights. mid 60's during the day. We have had a couple of poplar fires, just to take the edge off, but we are still cooking ourselves out of the house.

Good thing though, only about 2/3 of my winter stock is in the shed....

 

Rain, rain and more rain , It has stopped for now though.
55 °F now Low tonight 49 °F , They say 76 °F For tomorrow .
When it hits 68 degrees in the house I got To have some kind of heat
Tried out your Kindling idea last night papadave , Split up some ash into 2 -3 inch pieces , Cross stacked them in the stove ,Works pretty good, Going to do it again now

 

Most of mine are a bit smaller, and I Lincoln log 'em.
Just put in a new load.....66 at my desk, and wife on the couch under a blanket were my clues.

 

53 and rain all day..damp.. No fire yet as wife has not requested.. But its getting closer..
