    Wife sent me out to do her shopping. We have this big shopping area that sits up on about the highest place around. The wind was twice there what is is anyplace else around here. So icy cold, it went right through my cloths. Thought I would freeze before I got into the store. I ended up going to 4 places to find everything on the list.
    It is going to take a while to adjust to this change. :eek:

    This is for the Watertown NY area, we'll see how far north these winds get.

    STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH GUSTS UP TO 45
    MPH POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE LAKE ERIE AND LAKE ONTARIO
    SHORELINES.

    Same here, we have that warm up then another cold front next week.

    We have just over .61 of a cord of shoulder season wood left, I'll be glad when we start burning the Cherry.

    Your burning right through your shoulder season wood. How much did you start with?

    Just under 1.8 cord (not face) I was hoping it would last through the end of November. I'm not sure if I posted this, but we heat from the basement.

    We don't have much wind at all today, we'll see what this next system brings in.

    The information below is is from the weather channel, check your area, the pics are from AccuWeather.

    A jet stream dip swinging into the Northwest and across the Rockies will help to propel an intensifying frontal system from the Plains to the Great Lakes late Saturday into early Monday of next week. The combination of strong jet stream winds, strengthening low pressure and warm, moist air returning from the Gulf of Mexico will help set the stage for this threat of severe storms, including possible tornadoes.

    I guess it's time we push in some better wood for this cold front, the last cold front we had, the only wood we had in was pine & hemlock.
