    Just as long as you could find the "henhouse", you've got a place to stay!

    7F here with no wind & partly cloudy. Really nice evening before the storm gets here. We're right in the bullseye they say. Got fuel, 5 cord near boiler & plow & blower ready. CC rotation around a big low pressure system really makes a mess here. 12" possible & it'll be heavy with temps near freezing. This could turn into a mess, we'll see. Oak & Ash in the boiler.

    Storms of this magnitude are still talked about in this area. The one that comes always comes to my mind when the topic of extreme winter weather comes up is the so called "Armistice Day Blizzard" of 1940, which killed at least 49 people in MN, mostly duck hunters. The storm pushed an epic waterfowl migration into the state ahead of the massive cold fronts accompanying the storm. The warm weather ahead of the system lured out many hunters.

    #2 1940 Armistice Day Blizzard

    The current storm is dragging in a lot of cold, but it has been cold here fairly recently with lows of -49f at several locations in northern MN.

    How cold? 49 below zero Sunday morning in northern Minnesota

    At any rate, I dug into the pile for some poplar this morning as it is not very cold here yet, but will go for more hardwoods soon enough with -27f Tuesday morning and -26f predicted Wednesday morning. They are talking about it hitting close to 30f by Saturday.

    18 feels like 8, 75 inside, about to reload. It’s sunny but the temperature won’t go up much today if at all, then single digits tonight. The Midwest storm should be here Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, then the polar plunge right behind it. We might see some mixing :headbang: before it freezes up tight before the end of the day Wednesday, then below zero for a few days. Ayuh, it’s winta!
