Looks like some snow on the way for Sunday. Maybe a foot or....? 10" to 16" forecasted. Don't know why but I'm getting a craving for french toast......
Yuk... You can keep the snow, I was enjoying the lack of snow so far Been above freezing for a few days now... And now they are calling for -3 for Monday morning.
35 out and 68 in when I got the stove going again. Still burning punky SS wood. If I get 4 hours of good heat before I have to reload, I am happy. Being retired and around the house to keep the stove fed is a good thing.
Good morning Fkws in the stove. The plan is to go to Fairbanks today. My wife has been planning it for weeks . I'de rather stay home and wait for it to warm up. Which it's supposed to do on Sunday.
With highway speeds . Even going 50 mph. The wind-chill is well below 100 below 0. The antifreeze is rated for 55 below. Huh
Spruce in the OWB keeping it warm. We had a hockey tournament canceled in Healy due to this being an outside rink and -30 or colder forecasted. We skate in this temp but all the teams that have a heated inside rink said they’re not coming. Those kids are used to 50* game temp, it would be dangerous for them not knowing how to dress for play in those temps.
Yup. Tok , Glennallen and Kenny Lake can play . But all the light in the loafers city people say Ohhh It's Cold . Whaaa . The dawn drop was 44 under when I was loading the van for the town trip. Most of the time it's warmer in Delta than at home.
The Alaska Heat team my oldest plays for has 4 kids from Tok (where the team is out of) our goalie is from Kenny Lake, one player from Glennalen, one from Delta, one from Barrow. My next two play for Healy, there tough kids (all the bush kids are). It’s the town kids that are soft when it comes to tough conditions.
Presently a breezy 37, with a projected low of 27. Beating a dead horse here with my fall 2021 mix of black birch and aspen, with a single red oak skinny just because I had the need and the room for it Looking forward to getting into more oak soon. This is my 4th week burning and I still haven’t had to shovel out my stove yet
My stove's been out for about 3 days now... Its been 60's -70's this week... Wondering when and if we'll pay for it....
33 out right now with the OWB loaded with basswood, just got back from supper had a tall double jack and coke fallowed by a tall double captain and Pepsi... at 70 inside it feels a little warm in here tonight
Typical as of the last several winters Michigan weather here. 35F & cloudy. Yesterday's 50 with a good wind felt odd. Ground is mush & it's very difficult to dress for this weather. Took down a big Popple tree for a friend today & what a damm mess. Yard was soft & got torn up pretty bad, rained on us for an hour or so & the 40" tree was still full of sap/water. Terrible heavy stuff with water literally running out of the cuts. Weather weenies predicted a cold December early on & got my hopes up, I should know better by now. I'm wasting some good Ash & Elm in the boiler because I'm low on dry shoulder wood. I'm not sure I wanna do -40, but this weather is horrible. Pic of my 660 with a 36" bar against one of the rounds.
