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

From pulling the Stihl leave blower so many times?

 

Hope you can stay off the highways for a bit. They are a disaster in our area. Pure ice south of us. Probably pretty similar in your area.
-17 C (2 F) with a snowfall warning until tomorrow.

 

82*F today only thing burning was gas while cutting the lawn AGAIN.. But it's ok , that' wood saved for another day . it will get cold eventually.

 

Yeah, I saw you guys over in Alberta were getting slammed with this, and yep, highways are crap here as well. We hunker down when we can, and sometimes we're stuck until the rm plows the road out. Such is life in Canada.

 

I might finally get to have a fire this weekend.


Mike in Okla

 

35 outside 70 inside with some spruce and red maple going. This is my first fire in about a month.

 

Windy day today. Because of how the Middle Tanana River Valley sits in relation to The Alaska Range. We get cold fronts that come down from the Arctic and deepen here. Then a wind will come from any direction of the compass ( predominantly Southeast) and blows it away very quickly most of the time.
It got up to 10 above today. But it's blowing 20 with gusts to mid 40s . More from the east today. Last night it warmed up quite fast. As the breeze got started.
Fire killed spruce in the stove in the house. With fks and a bit of birch in the coop shop stove.
Today was a sit and drink coffee day. After morning chores. I think tomorrow will be also. Plow truck , which has plugged fuel filters again is parked nose into the wind . So working under the hood isn't my idea of fun.

 

42 and very windy
Basswood and lumber cutoffs

 

20 degrees cooler this morning over yesterday’s temp. I’m sure a fire will be started very soon.

 

Only dropped to 33 overnight. The upper 20's were forecasted so that was nice.

Mid 40's with maybe some sunshine today. inside is still 70, out is 32........just dropped from a minute ago!

 

Well the Summer temps didn't last long (enough)

This old house doesn't seem to like big temp swings. It makes cracking and popping noises just like the coppper pipes when/if the heat comes on.

 

A balmy -12 C/10 F at the moment, warming a few degrees during the day. Supposed to be -18 C/0 F overnight. Poplar n pine as always.

 

We awoke to -10c/14f which was a warm up from last night. I certainly dont mind. Sunny with a light breeze currently. Doug fir is keeping the house warm.

 

Had 8 degrees this morning. Warmed up to 16 so far. Roads are a mess, but lots of snow for hunting.

 

Great sunny days all week with temps dropping to cold nights starting Saturday. I will l start the boiler again then.
Firearms deer season is then. Willget it going after morning hunt.

 

Cooler today. Temps dropping into 30s
Burning ash, oak, some ss wood. 73 up from 62 in house.
I guess it may be everyday fires until spring.

 

Goinf down into the 20's tonight. I am burning ash and red oak, with a little hop hornbeam mixed in. The house is a cozy 72.

 

Had a good 5" of fresh snow today. Storm is mostly over but the colder air is starting to come in. The lows are going to be in the teens now. The Ideal Steel is packed full of a mix of Lodgepole and Elm. It's 74 upstairs and 76 downstairs with the stove rippin away. Pretty neat view with a full moon and fresh snow.
