    38* here now, was up in the 50's feeling like April. I'm not burning anything, just bumped the FHA on for 5 or 10 minutes. I deserve a lazy night. I cleared off the stacks today so that snow wouldn't hold the coming rain and crush the top cover plywood from the weight. I filled the porch wood boxes for the coming rain and then ice and secured the storm tarp to keep that wood dry. Expecting 30 mph winds with the rain. The cold returns Sunday, Monday.

    55 deg in the city with no pity ... I’m about 1/4 mile away from a giant ice-cube so I’m sure it broke 60 inland

    -14f slabs are burning . Choking draft fans to slow down burn was the trick . Slab burning is a different world..

    42 here. Weather app says it’s 52 in the big city.

    Rain and more rain. We have received a good bit of rain in the last 12 hours. And with all that snow melted or melting there could be some issues in the low areas.

    Next up is the return of normal cooler temps and the snow storm. 6-10” or more depending on where you look.

    Pine in the boiler.

    28* and snowing now. I woke up at 530 to the sound of ice pellets hitting the windows. School was canceled because of the ice so today I am staying home with the kids and feeding the stove.
    Normally the house would be abuzz right now with everyone getting ready for school and work. It's nice to sit by the fire and enjoy my coffee.

    Right around zero now....(just below overnight) but this is also going to be the high temp of the day.

    Got snow yesterday-easily 8" by the last time I shoveled

    56 this morning with rain, a couple birch coals left from last nights 3 split fire. Light southwest wind with a few small gusts. Around lunch time it’s supposed to swing around to a north wind and start dropping temperature. Rain changing to ice changing to snow sounds like by dark supposed to be upper teens and snowing hard. Calling for 5”-12” into tommorrow, we shall see..... Loaded the wood rack in the mud room this morning with ash, maple, cherry and a couple oak splits.

    Same as everyone else, high 40 s and rain going to minus 8 and snow after 7 tonite. They are guessing 4 to 12 plus inches snow! That narrows it down a bit:)
