    Well, March is coming fast and I just went out to the wood shed to bring in some wood.
    I have only burn't about 1-1/2 cord so far this year. If you count the uglies at shoulder season, "Maybe"2 cord. I'm way behind. o_O I was hoping to get all this 5 and 6 year old stuff burn't. I know winter isn't over yet and March can be a "B!T@# here!!! It can get very nasty then. But, on a nice cold winter, I'm about 3+ cord down by now. Where are you all at? :binoculars: Dave.

    Around 2 cords in the shop for me. I don’t burn it all the time. Maybe 25%. Our weather is so bipolar it can be 65 and two days later it’s 18. It’s not the most efficient setup so it’s a hog.

    Am about the same as you WeldrDave roughly between 1 1/2 - 2 cords give or take.
    For my 3 year plan goal I am thinking 3 cords per winter is my target. Am about 4 cords behind on my stash :picard:that may change soon if I can get couple of these tree's taken care of close to the house, that's why I've been dragging my feet :emb:

    I'm over 4 cord and still plenty of snow on ground below 0 last night..
    I personally think a geographic relocation will cure this low use problem!;)

    7.5 face cords as they say in my region. So, 2.5 cords.

    2 and a half cords so far this winter. Much colder this year than last. A little over a foot of snow on the ground. IMG_20190226_100325_727.jpg

    1.75 cord so far. I burnt more than I should have given the temperature swings, but its just easier to keep the stove going at a low burn rather than doing cold restarts.

    Probably close to 3 cord here so far. Yes, we had some warm times this winter but November was cold, colder than December. And we also had some extreme cold. No problem though; we have lots of firewood.

    Looking at 2.5-3 cord here. I retired this year so the stove is going pretty much full time when I am home. This is almost double what we burned when I was working.

    I have burned about 3.5 cords so far. We were having an easy winter until febuary hit with cold and snow. I'm gonna be busy cutting when I can get into the mtns. Setting a goal of 10 cords for spring and early summer. About 3 cords for dad's shop and the rest for me.

    Boy, I dunno...I did a really bad job of getting an inventory tally at the beginning of the season...but I'd guess 4 cords, maybe a bit more? This is with using an indoor whole house wood furnace for heat...keeping the whole 3 floors/~3000 sq ft at 70-73*

    What part of the world are all youse guys living in? The tropics? I started tallying up in the first week of October and I am just over 8 cords at this point. Probably be a lot less if I hadn't decided to start heating a mostly uninsulated 800 sf garage in late December. I've probably burned half my total since then. It is amazing how much impact insulation has on heat load.

    Unfortunately all I had available was a little over 8 cords of wood, so I'm heading into March (historically one of the worst months of winter in the Northeast) with about half a cord of wood.
