    Low 30s here, had some snow on the hill this evening but seems to have shifted to a good healthy new England mix now, rain and snow having at it together.

    Came home to Mrs Papi getting supper together and 82 in the dining room.. She does like it warm!

    Yeah, we're still getting nailed here! I had to shovel my way to the OWB just now. There is an easy 10" and still snowing to beat the band out there.

    Hope everyone on the highways stays safe. This storm reminds me a little of the one that the Edmund Fitzgerald ran into back in 1975. That one started the same way. The 9th of Nov in 75 is when the Fitzgerald sank by the way.

    First snowfall tonight. Will be out in the morning playing with chainsaws and other manly pursuits.
    Warming up Sunday, so I plan to refill the woodshed next to the boiler. Have my helpers coming.

    Right where I want to be.
    23 OAT right now, and still snowing lightly. We may have 1.5" out there. T-stat says 71.
    Had a decent fire last night with mostly Beech, and not all of it was in great shape. Thinking about getting another fire going after first :coffee:.
