Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

Good thing he is only drinking coke... unless he spiked it.

 

2 1/2" of snow, 40 degrees colder today 16 now, over night 8
Ash choochin in the box

 

Just touched off some basswood and silver maple 67 in 23 out. Had a half hour of ice now snow and calling for 5-12 tonight.
Had a little inside temp set back since someone burned dinner and had to open the windows....

 

Holy weather change Batman ! It was 60 deg here in the city with no pity at 10 this morning ... now it’s 22 and snowing like crazy ... looking at FEET of snow ... glad I stocked up with gear ! Baby-back ribs with 1 cup water ; 1 onion and garlic with cup of brown sugar and 1/2 bottle of “sweet baby Rays’ bbq sauce ... slow - cooked ... mmm mmm !!!!

 

Back to below zero for temps. And then there is the real feel temps. Was an all around cold day here. but it stopped snowing!

-1 now with -15 feel.

 

You folks in the Midwest and Northeast are hearty folk.

Only 49 degrees here. Sun is on its way this weekend

 

Right now it is 51 degrees with heavy rain. Nothing is running, my wood stove is off, my back up propane boiler is idled, but I will pay for it when the temp drops. My radiant floor always has a lag in time because it takes time for hundreds of cubic yards of mass to heat and cool off.

Yesterday the snow was up to my waist and today the green grass is showing in 90% of the fields. I LOVE IT. It is okay to log in snow up to a my knees but over that and it gets just plain silly. It is also hard on equipment churning through that much snow too as it breaks axles and final drives.

 

Thanks! #1 is 16, so I hear you loud and clear. She has her teenager moments, but overall we are blessed. Hope the new one follows in her big sister's footsteps!

 

It was 68 yesterday and 64 this morning but temps started crashing around 11am.
Started the stove on some SYP and tried switching over to the white oak stack from out front 3+yrs CSS but failed to top cover until this past summer - wont make that mistake again.
Lots of punk loss as I move down through and several pieces half wet - burns like wet dung.

Off to load the trailer with primo red oak temps, polar vortex 3.0 this week

 

20 out with fine snow, 71 in and 425 stove top coaling down on some silver maple and basswood.

WOW, talk about a January thaw.

Poplar and white spruce in the stove.

 

56F & rain yesterday, aired out the shop & cleaned the furnace. 15F with a 0 windchill here now, due North wind. White Oak holding an even 72 inside. Very little snow, so I may have a shot at processing some more wood this weekend.
