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

35 degrees out now. Silver maple and basswood in the quadrafire. oh, and it just started to dump the rain that the guessers mentioned. It will drop temps out today and we could see a mess outside. Maybe even snow to go with the inch of rain and ice. yuck

 

I can’t like that, sorry! Best of luck with it, looks like we’ll be seeing it tomorrow. I think I’m on the warmer side so any ice at the start will get melted soon. Fingers crossed for both of us!

 

Tomorrow isn't going to be much nicer, I guess.

It's still dumping rain. The great news is that my chimney crown rehab works great as there's been zero drips since I did the repair a month or so ago, even when it rains hard.

 

So, I've been checking the long term forecast...............yes, yes, I know, pretty futile.........but it's been fairly accurate (except last night) so far. I think we've burned about 1/2 cord so far, and a few bucks worth of nat. gas.
This isn't normal.
Gone through almost a 1/3 cord of Pine, and maybe 1/4 cord of Ash so far. Just weird.
Since the weather forecast called for a low of 22 last night, I loaded up the stove almost full. The house was still 75 this morning at 6:30, and the OAT was 31. Oops. Didn't need a reload for quite a while, and that was only a single split on top of the coals.

 

Windy, wet and around 5°c/41°F this morning, was lookin for some deere to take home.
For some reason it go alot warmer, peek was around 48°F today.

Burned/Burning some: birch, spruce and some oak.


On my way back to the car...

 

Last I checked it was about 36 out. Chaz brought me a cart load of wood in. While I was taking care of the wood inside he grabbed our other cart and 4 wheeler and resupplied the front porch. Rain is suppose to coming in. Gonna make part of the driveway a mess. Part of the driveway doesn't get any sun. So the ice that is already is gonna be deeper. Yuck.

 

FULL SUN out here. Very nice. Unusual for the last two months!

 

Sun? What is this SUN you speak of?

 

Partly cloudy today here. 42ºF
HAd a fire this morning will be seeing how few coals I need to get it going again later.
Was a great day for cleaning gutters. Two houses, two garages. Ready for heavy rain.


Just checked the weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow at wunderground:


A little space-time shifting going on. Should I get bread and milk ?

 

36*....fog thicker than pea soup n rainin....was really nice until 11:00 this mornin....

 

Woke up to rain beating on the window. Sun came out for 10 seconds this afternoon and now it's raining again. Hit 61...low 47 tonight.

Had to relight the boiler. Probably have to again tomorrow too.

 

Sugar Maple also known as hard Maple slabs make a dang hot fire . 28f testing boiler.

Hmmm. Gravel driveway? I see a box blade in your future. Chaz can fix those low spots for good then.

 

Lol nah. He has a box blade and has already used it earlier this year. But it is a gravel driveway. We have pines that shade the driveway. He does have plans to drop them but other things took priority.

 

Aha! Well he has no excuse then! Time can be an issue however...

 

26 here, red maple doing the deed. Thought I burned all of this red maple that came from a big three stemmed monster at grandpa's house a couple years ago.. Guess not! Guess I'll be finishing it off this winter.

 

I think we've had 3 full days of sun since mid Sept
Been depressing

 

I hear ye! We've been blessed with..alot of sun this year. But last year it was more like rainin nonstop - better light a fire to get some natural warmth eh!
