    38F here, got to 50 for a minute. Raining now & supposed to turn to snow by early morning. 6-10" forecast for us & almost double that to the SE. I'm back to Beech and Oak, ran out of Spruce.

    Started today at 28, then the wind picked up early morning and blew 25-40mph all day and is still a good 15-20mph, 10 out right now.

    OWB is loaded with Burr oak, I got to say, this is probably the first 3 year seasoned oak I have burnt and man it burns nice.

    I was out tonight at 11pm setting up the generator for the overnight vehicle plug in.
    I was busy for about half hour. I was surprised when I walked back to the house ( into the wind) how much my face was stinging.
    I know we've recently had a brewhaha about windchill.
    But, it is an important thing to keep in mind if someone has exposed skin.

    I’m sure you do it, but make sure you have a plan and a timeline when you go outside so someone can come get you should the unexpected happen. Nothing more dangerous than working alone in those conditions where the simplest thing can mess up the easiest task…

    34 and pouring rain and windy. Supposed to switch over to snow around noon and accumulate 3"-12" depending on what forecast you look at. Rain on frozen ground is making puddles everywhere.

    Boiler still working on some ash from last night. I'll top it off later this evening.

    This is refreshing! And it’s only 11:23. I have some White Pine, White Spruce, and Maple keeping the Wood Gun plenty warm for these temperatures.

    Still warming up. Snow melting. But as you can see below, we have more on the way. Currently saying 6-12” for the storm. Maybe more depending on where you look. I’m hoping for less!
