LOL. I know my house is already creaking and rocking and I'm 12 miles away. I can only imagine what it's like at the observatory. I heard they're...
They've already hit a windchill of -103 at the observatory and that's during the day. Will be interesting to see what happens after the sun goes...
4/65 and burning 3-yo beech I was saving for a cold snap like this. 65 feels like a furnace after being outside! Winds are going to be cranking...
Another reason to drink gin. Beer freezes at about 28 degrees whereas gin doesn't until around -17.
Right from the Observatory's 'Higher Summit Forecast' page. Figured they're right in the middle of it and their job is to monitor the weather, so...

I usually bring a skidding cone (the yellow item in the Otter sled) when heading out to scrounge with the snowmobile. Makes a world of difference...
Always have to chuckle at friends who shake their heads when I mention I'm cooking with cast iron. They can't believe I still use 'antiquated'...
We got around 8+ here today. Tough snowblowing in a t-shirt. :D [ATTACH]
Lots of fun doing it that way! [ATTACH]
8 outside this morning when I took the dog out and 54 inside. I actually slept most of the night (very unusual these days) so the stove had mostly...
23 when I got up this morning to take the dog out. 29 now and windy but the sun is shining so what is left of the snow is sliding off the (metal)...
Definitely a severe, subpar snow winter. While a few trails were open previously, as of Thursday, there were no snowmobile trails open in the...
Happy New Year Mike (and the entire FHC community). No party here, just another day. Made some turkey carcass soup last night so will be enjoying...
Been burning 24/7 for the last couple months so it's a shock to see it creeping up on 50 outside today. Had the fire going this morning with some...
Great points, and I agree that there are times it can be a PITA, however I never look at wood processing as work, or a dreaded chore, I enjoy it....
