    16ºF outside right now.
    same old routine earlier. Stick a few pine kindlings into the few remaining coals from last night's load of oak remains. A split or two of pine to help get the stove a bit hotter quicker and some red oak. Kinda rationing the pine cuz I haven't a lot left. Should be working on that rather than sitting here sipping coffee tapping on my laptop keyboard.

    A couple nights ago I got up in the middle of the night and the temperature outside was 50 and we had no fire in the stove. Last night I got up and it was -6 outside and stove was full of coals. I was surprised that the inside temperature was down to 75! I put a couple sticks in the stove and went back to bed.

    Last night's forecast was for a low of 4 degrees. It ended up to be -9 degrees. Not bad NOAA. You only missed by 13 degrees.

    Sunny and -23 C feels -33 C, or -9 F feels -27 F today. Only a couple more days until it (apparently) moderates a bit. It feels like a Charlie Brown and Lucy holding the football moment though when it comes to the weather forecast.o_O

    +8 here and snowing. Calling for it to get up to +30 and some rain. I could do without that !!!
    Burning some poplar that I dug out yesterday. It's kinda green so I throw a split of Bone dry white spruce pumpkin heart in on the bottom and the greenish poplar on top of it. I've been keeping some super dry stuff just for this kind of need. If I had got this stuff processed when I brought it home. It would have lost a good amount of moisture in the woodshed. Oh well.

    Its a mild -2c/28f here. I was half asleep last night when it was reload time so as a result the stove is cold now. Not a big deal, Ill get off my butt soon and find some kindling. Happy Sunday everyone!
