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

We finally had a fire this morning, burning dead something, maybe Elm. We'll burn this whole stack (.61 of a cord) then it's what we have left of last years shoulder season wood, maybe a NY facecord of Hemlock.

With what people are getting down south, I won't ever complain again about cold weather, god bless them.

 

Good point woodlands. We are very fortunate we do not get the weather some folks get. This is a good part of the country to live in when it comes to bad storms. No tornadoes, no Hurricanes, no Earth Quakes (to speak of) here. A bunch of us got lucky that the Micro Burst years ago did not hit our homes. Man that flattened a lot of trees. If that had hit a densely populated area that year it would have been bad news. The worse we have had in many years was that Ice Storm of 98. Hope we don't get another one that bad for a long time. It seems like we get ice more frequently than when I was young. But maybe it just seems that way. ?

 

Big thunderstorms on Sunday,with another short burst Monday afternoon,scattered heavy damage to my SE.Light rain off & on every day since then.Not quite 3 1/2" in gauge total so far.Supposed to continue through mid day tomorrow.Temps mid-upper 40's past 2 days.Burning some old scrap Silver Maple,14 month old White Pine & other odds/ends. Finally going to warm up on Friday & over the weekend,hitting mid 70's by early next week.

 

Hi.That would be standing on my deck looking almost due south.I am north of bozeman pass,down in lower corner is the highway going over the pass.60 here today,got 2 more days of nice before more crap moves in.

 

So you are in the State of Montana? Nice view you have there.

 

Sorry,park county montana,livingston 20 miles to left,bozeman 20 miles to right.Tall peak hylite peak.

 

Weather network says we're 45, feels like 39, but I don't believe it. Temp never went over 44 up til 6 PM today. Chilly, soggy, ugly. Rain til 8 AM tomorrow, then Fri AM, then Sat and Sun. I'm going to go out and stick the peas in the ground as soon as the rain stops tomorrow. Should be wet enough to get them swollen, then hopefully a few drier days next week so they won't rot. If not, I'll just replant. Worth trying to gain a week. Nothing beats fresh peas. And it's to darn wet here now to do anything in the woods. I have puddles all over my yard: a really rare occurrence.

 

45 this morning. Letting the oil burner get some exercise. Everything is soaked. Going to take a while for this to dry out.

 

Rained on and off most of yesterday, last night, and now there's a steady light rain.
I had planned to get in the woods today, but I guess that's not happenin'. Maybe.
Got a small fire going. Should be enough for the day.
We're at about 40 or so right now.

 

Thankfully I still have plenty of dry wood left. I think I will burn through May and part of June for the little heat demand and DHW. I need to buy my splitter soon and then get all of next years wood split and stacked in the next few weeks. Luckily it is all Ash and Pine. I will start out next season with some dry stuff I still have now. Then move to some Ash split this month. Then Ash and Pine. I think I will split the pine slightly smaller to be sure it dries well.

 

Burnin' 2 splits and 5-10lbs of coal morning and nite bout all it takes in this weather.
And my colons burnin' from the mega turkey swiss hamburger with thai hot peppers I had last nite.:firepit:

 

Yep, we'll have another fire tonight.
I may need to do another small one this afternoon.
Rainy and cool.
Supposed to get down around freezing tonight.

 

Cold,windy,raining, Just plain sucks here!
But the T5 was turned on awhile ago and we are good to go It will be burning all night

 

You just described my weather,and 35 degrees,loosing house heat,gonna have to fire up the pellet machine!

 

A chilly 39 early this morning. The Peerless oil boiler is running smooth. Giving the Gun a rest for a few days. Then a real good cleaning, maybe tonight, and fire it back up.

 

32,freezing rain,fog so thick looks like flathead valley.

 

After coming in off the hill earlier all soaked I started up a fire with some dead elm, it's still rain pretty good so I tossed in a few more splits.

Friday and Saturday we have a chit load of rain coming in from the weather report I saw tonight.

 

Oh man. I need some dry weather to get my wood split!

 

We have some better weather starting tomorrow through Wednesday maybe even Thursday. I decided that I'll cut in the rain, but only if it's safe.

 

Yes! Oh. Working.
