    -14 now. Suppose to warm way up to 26 for a high tomorrow. Spent the day running around opening up pipes for folks with the welder. Big, easy money day!

    Similar here, was -22* a couple hours ago but in the negative teens now too. Bummer is it'll still be -5 when they leave for work and a late start at school tomorrow at 8:30. Grateful we're on our way out of the cold snap, Erik B 's forecast has him frigid this whole week.

    It's supposed to be stupid cold here all week too. We live in a hole where it gets at least 10⁰ colder than the weather says.

    How many others here grew up without wind chill? It wasn't a thing when I was growing up and we had air temps as low as -45 with -20 being common.

    Yeah, I may of been partly to blame because I left the BL on the back patio rack mixed in with the elm and cherry. Ive seperated them since then.

    It is a beast and can take care of the entire house (3,000sf) down to about 20-degrees. NG furnace has to help after that. Nice stove and I like it a lot, but part of me still wishes I would have just kept the used Quad we had before it. Just something about that little stove that impressed the heck out of me, maybe the low price we got it at.
    Forgot to add the fun for the next week or so.

    Don't remember anything mentioned as a kid about wind chill. Winter always arrived after Thanksgiving and stayed till April. Many good memories of sledding and ice skating for months.

    When did wind chill temps come along, I don't remember? That said we all know there is big difference between cold and being windy cold. Worst for me was 1996 in Cali for Thanksgiving, like 99% humidity, in the 50's with a stiff breeze and it felt way colder than my 30 years in Colorado.

    If I had to burn wood in winter that was cut in fall I would not be using a modern stove and would hate to use any stove in that case. I remember old neighbors who cut their wood like that every year and always had problems but never learned.

    I remember when they started that. It always seemed to me people liked it because it made them feel more like they were living in the extreme weather of the far north.

    It just always seemed silly to me as we all knew the cold felt colder when you went out in the wind. Today people talk about wind chill and how bad it is yet most live and work indoors.
