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

Awesome pic...

 

Weve warmed up for a day or two. Were sitting at -7c/19f in the sun and I like it. Its supposed to drop down below -20c/-4f but I hope we dont see any -30c like what youre getting. I wonder if you will just all of a sudden have a shift in the weather and that will be the end of it? I hear many regions including mine are supposed to be colder than normal for March. I guess only time will tell. Hows the wood supply?

 

You're right. You should have stayed for another day (or two) longer!

 

Hard to say what our weather is ever going to do, as the weather guessers can't seem to predict 3 days ahead with any accuracy. Stove has been eating as much wood as it can without chucking the coals out. I'm not the best at math, but think you can push upwards of 1 1/4 cord through this stove a month. Not bad for a small stove! I have a 1'x8' foot row and an 8'x8' row in the shed, and then about 1/2-3/4 cord of rougher stuff that I can feed the reactor yet. Should be enough to carry us through and even if not, we saved so furnace oil this year, we could run the furnace as primary for a month no problem.

 

Today: Warm and sunny in the afternoon not more than 50°F/10°C..proably around 28.4°F/-2°C tonite.

Incase some of you need to see some greenish stuff, here ye go:

 

Buckling down for another rough few days. Gee whiz! This time we are blessed with a shot of rain first, .5-1.0 inches expected. Then freezing rain. Yipeee. Then another 3-6 inches of snow. With winds in the neighborhood of 50 mph. Bring on summerThe wood supply indoors is enough for a couple weeks.

 

Rain=not so bad

Freezing rain= bad

3-6 inches of snow after those two= heart attack snow

Good luck!

 

Shot up to 40°F , 4°C today , 15°F -9°C over night , they say Low 23 °F tonight , got a little ash choochin in the box

Gotta batten down the hatches for Sunday ,

High wind, with gusts of 50 mph,
Sustained winds will be 30 to 40 mph
Brief intervals of gusts up to 60 mph will also be possible.

 

25 here, ash and Sugar maple coals dying down. More of the same ready for overnight. The ash came from power line clearing a couple years back, and the sugar came from the neighbor's buddy around the same time. More power line clearing he tipped me off to. I don't know if knowing that qualifies me for an extra level of wood-geek, but I'll take the label if needed.

Going to cut down some longs into shorts that will fit In the stove tomorrow, and get another week's worth brought in.

 

30F here now after a nice sunny day. Gonna try & buck & split a big Burr Oak tomorrow before the weather gets nasty. Maple in the boiler.

 

45 at my farm house. Burning what was in my tractor shed stacked from several years ago I cut and a small loads I put back here n there from clearing field edges and yard branches.

 

"They" are calling for 12 to 18" now.

 

Another nice Alaskan dream of a day. Bluebird day, cut 4 birch and bucked after work and brought the smallest one home. Had a spectacular sunset for the ride home. The 461 with square grind chain eats the frozen birch like it nothing. Snow is mid thiegh deep, a lighter saw would be nice to carry but the 461 makes quick work of it.

 

Rope goin all in eh? Well done there! A cold but great place to live it seems.

Sometimes it feels pathetic to post temperatures while some of you`re living in the artic, temporary though.

Outside: 35.6°F/2°C - Inside: 68°F/20°C

Chunk of Beech, Pine and Poplar.

19 here, 76 inside still on coals. Another nice day in the 30’s today. We almost hit 40 yesterday! Big mess tomorrow, but we’ll enjoy today first.
We’re getting together for my grandsons second birthday, which is actually Monday. We’re very blessed he’s so healthy and happy after starting out 7 weeks early. It was touch and go for awhile but the good Lord blessed us all. He’s such a treasure! Enjoy the weekend everyone!
