    my son is having a sleep over so they will camp out in the rec room which is by the wood stove. I will let the furnace take the muscle tonight while the wood stove drops in temps. The arctic air doesnt show up until tomorrow or monday so it works for me :thumbs:

    After a warm October/most of November here I'm finally starting to burn 3-5 days weekly & weekends now.

    34 degrees,moderate snow falling first one of the season.May see 1-2 inches slushy stuff by early afternoon.High around 42 so it will be gone tomorrow.

    Burning a mix of 2 yr old Silver Maple,4 yr old small Mulberry,2.5 yr old Walnut tops/branches/milling scrap,worst of my 3 yr old Apple odd smoker chunks & some other miscellaneous odds & ends.

    Saving the good stuff for when it really gets cold.....

    32° and an inch of snow is forecast. I just went out and stirred the coals and added some pine. just to keep things rolling. I would like to go work on that pile of ash, but the bride has other plans for me today.

    Ended up being 30 OAT this am, so I waited a while for a fire. Still 70 IAT.
    5 smallish sticks and we're off to the races.

    We held steady at -2c over night with 4-6 inches of fresh snow. Just in the last hour it dropped to -3 so I wonder if the temperature slide is happening now? I saw last night fort mac was 0c but is -10 now. I need the lakes to freeze up better so I can go fishing, this weeks upcoming weather should do the trick.
