-6 here. Been snowing most of the day. It’s what my dad always calls “freeze your snot cold” But in the grand scheme of things, -6 is not much colder than a typical night here. Still not Rope cold though! The Oslo is cranking on some big, ugly chunks of Ash. That’s a chunk of ash only a hoarder could love
Those "uglies" have a lot of heat in the knots & crotches. Tell your dad I'm gonna steal the freeze your snot cold line too, I like that.
Lol, freeze your snot cold. I'll use that one too, thank you! It's -6° out, wind chill -26°, headed down to -9° supposedly. 73° in the stove room. Burning ash, ironwood and apple at the moment. Probably some combination of that in a bit when I rechooch, but certainly with a big split of honey locust. There's a couple of those setting right on the hearth, just waiting.
Was -18* at 9pm with spruce keeping the house warm @72*. Was -26 when I got to work at midnight, coldest I saw on the commute was -33*.
2 and 66 this morning... Just reloaded with some elm... will get it back up to temperature here shortly.... But the good news is 2 should be the high for the day... Its looking to go down from here... Forecasted to drop down to -2 or -3 by this evening.... I believe this will set a new record High low of the day... I think the old record was 4 degrees in 1936 ....
-1 and 75. BL and hackberry burning. Supposedly a few inches of the white stuff coming this way. We will see.
-25.4° right now. Running a few fat short ash butt chunks. Neighbors furnace was red tagged yesterday, they slept over
Went up to 11 overnight. Very little new snow. Loaded a few Oak rounds in the boiler & off to church/meeting.
Temps. rose yesterday loaded the OWB with Red Maple at 4 o'clock and set the thermostat at 70* woke up to 18* today.
You need more trees out there. And more hills. And less wind. At least, less sustained wind! That'll fix ya right up
