    Very southwest corner. Must've been a lake effect band that got us cause 15 miles west on the lakefront they got 1/2" and 10 miles northeast they got about 5".

    Edit: bird feeder roofs were cleared off the day before.

    -17/66 wasn’t expecting it to be this cold this morning! Didn’t have many coals left this morning after 10 hours, had to use some kindling.

    6* and dead calm. Actually doesn't feel that bad outside.

    The boiler had a lot of wood left in it for a single digit night. I topped it off pretty good with ash since I won't be home until really late tonight...shoud be enough until tomorrow AM.

    -16 here.

    Once the skies cleared, both of us knew right then that the forecasters would not be correct in their guess of overnight temps. Missed it by 12 degrees.

    I guess you could say the forecast was a.....

    Sorry to hear that its a hard thing to do. When Ive had to do it I try to find solace knowing that I gave the dog a great life since mine have always been rescues.

    15/71 in the living room 8 feet or so away from the insert. Burning a mix of Ash and Boxelder. It's going up to 36 here today and it will feel like spring as it was -17 last week. 53 degree change (warm up) will be welcome. My only regret is we have not had enough snow this winter. My wife likes to take a hike on snow shoes. Unless we drive up north to our family hunting land there is no need for snow shoes this year. I think I ran the snowblower twice so far. Of course it is not over yet, March can dump on us and even early April can bring snow.

    Looks like we're past the super cold temps now.
