Pellet heads!! What's up today?

ha!

blame my wife. she's up in Akron visiting her family. my sister in law asked her what she wanted for her birthday (today) she said "snow" she was joking. she sent me a text this morning of the snow falling. I suspect my sister in law is gonna strangle her.

as for down here in the Old Dominion, loaded the PAH and fired her off this afternoon as the outside temps dropped from the high 60's this morning to what is now 40 and dropping , supposed to be a freeze warning tonight. stove running flawlessly as I had just last weekend done my "put her away for the summer" cleaning, rolled out on the deck , blew it out tore it down , re-gasketed the unit (was due for changing all the original gaskets after 5 seasons, some had been changed before now)

at least this will just be for a two bag run so a simple cleanout will have her ready to sleep off the summer

 

Yesterday morning I had to go dig out the ditch in front of the house (basement drains run to the ditch, and the outlet gets plugged with leaves and crap over the winter). There was still snow in the ditch which made it even more fun. At 6:45 AM it was 63 degrees with horizontal rain. When I finished around 7:30 AM it was down to 52. When I got to work at 9 AM it was 41. Quick temp drop. Last night it got to 23 and we had a couple inches of snow. The pellet furnace is running. Again. I was hoping I wouldn't need it anymore.

The house tried to do its impression of Noah's Ark and float down the hill yesterday, but the pump downstairs has been keeping up.

 

Sorry I was whining but now you see why! Raining buckets and then cold and snow. Ma nature needs some midol!

 

We have earned our whining this year! At this rate my boat won't leave the garage until June!

 

I have been away for the last week, stove off and enjoying the weather. It was 84 on Sunday. I just got up to turn the stove on, it is cold as chit tonight, 28 degrees where did spring go!

 

Snow on the ground this morning

 

Ain't that perty…

 

We're snow covered again, and it ain't purdy!

 

I know the feeling...If you look closely, you can see ducks swimming in my yard.

 

I've heard some quacks live at that address.

 

Ouch!!

 

Temp dropped big time overnight and woke to a coating of snow, but stove is still off since Sunday. I definitely will be starting it when I get home tonight. This morning was OK upstairs, but the basement was real chilly. I'm sure that chill made its way upstairs by now.

 

Similar to what Jay said above, but we only had about 1" of snow, and the only ice was on the cold wood deck steps. Weird weather, for sure. Stove did some on-off over night, and is running now....... Getting down to about 28℉ tonight. BRRRR

 

Dex, I saved that pic and changed it to black and white. that makes a knock out print well deserving of framing

 

Down to 8 bags of pellets and I am sick so I cranked it up. I guess I will be stopping at Lowes after work tomorrow. Can we please be done with winter now!
