    Yes, all powder was nice. I drove home in the squalls, fortunately they thinned out going north. The roads were treated very well, too, and the plows were out.
    A big fat 0° here, and it's my excuse to stay inside today and work on tax stuff. And feed the stove with oak and black locust, with a little red maple thrown in.

    The Drolet Blackcomb was struggling last night. Must have been the wood. Woke up about 6:15 this morning, nice bed of coals, 21° outside then, 70° inside. But it's cranking now.

    Local power company sent an alert last night at midnight. Please set heat to 65F to avoid outages. They lost a compressor. This is my answer, so glad I've got wood heat. 20190131_074855.jpg

    The next time you need a babysitter....call someone else! The weather behaved very poorly, wouldn't listen and challenged every boundary we set for her! I'm sad to say that I think this behavior pattern will continue with this one and recommend to not waste your money on counseling as it is plain to everyone involved that it won't help out a bit! Too bad you can't reverse the adoption! :rofl: :lol:
