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

0F Here feels like -9 that begs the question isn't it -9 ? At least the critters haven't started eating peoples heads yet

 

Beach in the insert

 

3° here this AM. I reloaded the stove with oak and locust during the night, so it's nice and toasty inside. I wasn't able to empty the ash tray, but I'll let it burn out tonight.
Today I'll go outside! Maybe some snow/ice/whatisthissh** removal. There is a layer on the driveway and walkway that's like masonite.

 

19 outside and 75 inside, lab pups woke us up at 5:45, went outside ate a little and they're now sleeping. Shop stove was almost burned out but trying to get it going with what coals were remaining. I burned hickory in the house last night and had more than enough coals and reloaded with sugar.

 

-20 ish this morning. Maple, Ash, and Cherry gasifying.

 

5 feels like -12. Was -5 and -30 when I went to bed. Reloaded at 2:30 am, got down to 75 in the stove room. Warming up to 20 today and the wind is slowing down so things are looking up. The Kubota will come in handy for scraping up that layer of hard pan that drifted in before it turns to slush then freezes again later this week. Must be our January thaw.

 

Wow you really do hoard iron! Will the 7 Fishers go in warm-up huts?

 

You'd get more money for them in NH than in NJ, I can tell you that.

 

12 this morning, loaded stove with ash and sugar maple this morning. High today of 35 with freezing rain.

Lynx hat.

 

Pleasant temp surprise this morning, wind is bringing a heat index instead of wind chill. Don’t recall ever seeing that one in winter. Maybe it’s the warmth from the full moon.

 

-9 this morning and going up to 25f today, the jotul is cruising at 500 with some locust, the kids had a 2 hour delay and then I'll get ready to work, have a great Tuesday fhc and stay toasty

 

We have some weird weather the next couple days. Temp is supposed to rise from now until 3AM where it tops out at 43, then fall back into the 10's by tomorrow night. Single digits again later in the week.
