    Elm was pretty well wiped out here, too, with a few notable exceptions. I've worked with the fellow who owns the house this one sits in front of. I've made it very clear that if it ever comes down, he should be on the phone with me immediately! :)

    Getting back down into the 40's tonight so I've got some oak and a little honey locust cooking as we speak. This is the first fire I've had in nearly 2 weeks. While December and January were very cold by southern standards, February was very warm.

    About 23F here this morning. Maple and Pine in the boiler. We were lucky here with just a dusting of snow. Windy.

    Got a nasty new England mix of snow and rain today, maybe 6" all told. Low 30s for the next few days say the weather guessers. Red maple, walnut, and pine keeping the water hot.

    Mild temps yet here. Feels like 20's...maybe upper teens. Moon is out once again, but has to deal with some light clouds tonight.

    Snow coming on Mon, Tue, Wed.

    Enjoying -8 C feels -17 C, or 18 F feels 2 F. The winds are gusting up to 30 mph though, and I think some snow rolling in during the day. Poplar in the stove.

    Didn't load the stove heavy before I left this morning. Still should have been enough to get me through the day though.

    Came home to both doors wide open because my wife was distracted by the dogs, so the house was cool. Still windy so the draft has been strong, and the stove was down to coals. Punky Maple coming to life.

    Upper 20's and windy but the solar gain from the sun is doing its job!
