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

62* .....thunderstorms this afternoon....80* all of next week.
The only thing this year that has been normal is the UNnormal.
Got a feeling these temps will cause those d@mn stink bugs to try n find a place to harbor even worse....

 

Fall is here in the Arizona mountains!

55°F and drizzling. Burning some red and white pine.

 

We reached a high yesterday of 85* and this morning it was 38*. We had the house closed enough last night to keep heat in and not have to get a fire going this morning.

 

Ditto. Same temps here. Strange weather indeed. Sick of rain! Suns out now. Guess I better go split before it starts pouring again....

 

Still hanging at 37f.

Had snow today but nothing that stuck around. I'm thinking thats coming tonight.

 

You can become part of the snow club!

 

Fuzzy buddies woke me around 3:30 AM having a who can drink louder competition, and sure enough, the temp made it to -10 C or 14 F. It's already warmed back up to -2 C or 28 F, and we should go up to +5 C or 41 F by afternoon.

 

We might be getting a bit colder here, but I'll take that over the snow I see in your photos any day!

 

2 inches of wet snow the night before last, not melted yet.

200 miles south of saskwoodburner

 

Temps have been banging up and down here along with occasional rain. Mornings are 43F to 55F depending on what front has just passed through. To me that means that when it is cooler the furnace comes on for a bit in the AM. Not so the Wif who is always freezing. Up til now I have managed to hold off requests for the "First Fire" but She is pretty sneaky! For various reasons we were not able to have the carpets cleaned during a period of warm dry weather so that we could open the house to dry everything out. We were finally able to schedule a cleaning but it fell during a cool wet period. Uncharacteristically, my Wif did not seem to mind. When the cleaning was done she suddenly announced " Maybe we should have a hot fire to dry the house out. That way we won't be running the furnace! We can open some windows and that will help clear out the first fire stove smell and also allow the moisture to escape. Further, you could burn all the chips, bark and uglies and not even have to get into the beautiful wood shed." Well we have had a fire all day for three days running and the house is all dry. I said " enough fires for now" but, unfortunately, I think that particular horse has escaped the barn and is now frolicking in the back forty! Wif has already carted a wheeler of splits into the garage and is bugging me to split a couple buckets of kindling. Talk about an ambush!

 

More rain on Friday with heavy rain for next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Rain...we dont need no stinkin rain..

 

Same here! Burning Box Elder on full throtel since I got home after FB practice. Was raining and 42 outside. Was 62 in the house, 72 now. Don't remember burning this muck this early last year. Going to go through many cords at this rate!

 

It was 88* and 90% humidity yesterday... supposed to be mid 70’s today... im ready for cold, wood smoke, and yellow/orange leaves!

 

Hey Dave, yooperdave , I saw a large batch of snow clouds hangin' around above you this morning. Any falling on the ground?

 

Didn't realize I'd wake up to -8 C or 17 F, maybe I woulda jazzed the fire up at 3 in the morning. Was 53 F inside for a minute.

 

Whoa. Nope, don't really like that.

 

Mid 50's F. Burning one stick of poplar at a time just to keep a warm room to come in to from outside chores. Taking the pool down today.
