    Not much you can do about it but make the best of it and remember there are people who are truly cold....mainly those Crazy Canadians living in the deep freeze up north. :)

    My brother was out in Las Vegas when it snowed a while back. I blamed him for taking Minnesota weathee with him. :)

    Right where I want to be.
    Forecast for 0 tonight earlier in the day that changed to -1 sometime this afternoon, and at my house, it's -3 or -4 depending on which eye I close.
    DV heater has been on for an hour or so, and will stay on until morning. Again.
    This is turning into Winter 2013 all over again. Boo, hiss.

    Currently 12° out. :shiver:

    Didn't get a fire going until later than usual, so house temps are going down. Loaded pin oak, hoping it keeps warm in here....

    I don't think we'll break any records but I think tonight will be the coldest night for me this year.
    Turned on the Eden Pure that I inherited in the other end of the house to keep the pipes warm.
    Red oak coals are putting out some good heat

    -20f this morning. This latest cold snap supposed to ease by tomorrow. House is sitting @ 72. Both stove have a good coal bed, so it is just a simple reload and we are good to go. Happy as I am getting 10-12 hr burn cycles on both stoves on hard maple/beech/red oak.

    -16 on the back porch. The boiler made 7.5 hours last night. I had to get up early, about 4:30, because the best time to load last night was 9. A steady diet of Ash and today a little Maple to be mixed in. Have a good one today.
