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

Its -12c/10f at 9:30 am. The sun is out. We had almost an inch of snow overnight but its since moved on. I bet we will have a mild afternoon. Lodgepole pine doing its thing.

 

Weather guessers hit a home run. Good thing I have spruce taking up the slack.

 

35* and finally some snow in my area. Looks like there's about 2" on the ground so far. Burning red oak and the fireview is cruising at 580* STT. I should be able to fire up the snow blower for the first time in a few hours.

 

You're brave parking the SUV underneath the eave of a metal roof...….

 

I moved it since....

 

Changed to freezin rain now...

 

Oh yuck! You get the milder temps for the next few days, right?

 

Yep....mid to upper 40's the next 3 days...sunday ....maybe 50....

 

In the 50’s and rainy so it’s a little cool. I’m at my folks house because my internet is out and I’m doing school work. Decided to build a small fire in the fireplace, mainly just for the nostalgia of it. I grew up with a fireplace and it’s nice to here the crackle and pop every so often

 

hear is what you do with your ear
here or there and everywhere


That OCD moment brought to you by the makers of anafranil.

According to the weather service it will start snowing in another 45 minutes. So I guess this means I should forego looking out the window and seeing this white stuff falling from the sky.
28º F outside
74ºF inside

bunch of red oak cut-offs tossed in as of this moment.

 

27f currently. The snow just stopped with another 8" deposited here today. There are a few more rounds of snow predicted through the middle of next week followed by lows again below zero.

However, we have turned the corner from old man winter towards spring. The days are longer, the truck is warm inside from the midday sun when I get into it after work, even if cloudy, and I am running low on wood down here at our primary home.

 

Rope, thanks for the knowledge! I'd like to try Alaska some time. Not gonna happen as long as I stay married, so it's fun to live vicariously through your posts.

20 or so here, little snow falling. Just finished rear brakes on my wife's CRV, and would like to slap the Honda engineer that decided to use friggin Philips screws to hold the bloody rotor to the backing plate. Obviously this engineer has never maintained a car in a place that gets winter.

 

Welcome to my world everyday LOL. An impact driver is your friend with those screws. A little anti seize on everything going back together works wonders, well not on the braking/friction surfaces.
35F & raining here, dodged the bullet on the freezing today! Oak in the boiler.

 

Looks like 8" or 9" so far. Lighter stuff started around noonish so it'll be easy removal tomorrow.

It came down hot and heavy for a while...nothing wrong with a snow squall now and then.

 

No worries, you can car pool with amateur cutter I an wearing him down, at some point he may move up. 5-7 year plan should have him convinced, we’ll he may move to shut me up.

 

More than you know!

 

Only took me a decade to initially wear out the wife, I think she just got tired if saying no, I am not moving. Now no more than 3-4 days go by without here telling me she’s happy we moved, moved here in’12.

 

That’s a subject of constant debate among her 4 daughters. She’s 89 and still driving every day unless it’s too nasty out. Her second daughter lives in town except for January to mid April when they’re in Myrtle Beach. The third daughter and her husband just moved about 45 minutes north of there last summer so they cover the winter now, along with a couple of great neighbors. People take care of their neighbors up that way thankfully. She’s pretty independent so she’ll probably be there until she can’t get around on her own anymore and I don’t see that happening anytime soon. She lost a 94 year old brother last year and a 95 year old sister several years back. We can only hope to be in such good shape at that age.

 

Good for her!

 

16 out and 76 inside on coals so far. We have about 2” and maybe a couple more to fall before it ends in 2-3 hours so less than predicted and no rain. I’ll take it! Just enough to dig out the tractor and it’ll be getting sunny and warming up so I’ll take my time
