    Headed for a day of temps on the positive tomorrow. 30ish sat.
    And even warmer sun. With a chance of rain. Crazy :bug:

    Was 3ºF this morning, the 14ºF is the current temp and the high for the day. Dunno what the 32/8 in the graphic is all about . Maybe those are the temps at the local airport asphalt - the ones they use to document global warming.

    Thought I'd shake things up by bringing in a few baskets of red maple to burn today. It sure does ignite quick on a deep bed of red oak coals.

    We were 21f yesterday morning and 23f this morning. Pretty chilly. And burning as much white oak as I pull out of my pile, which is 98% oak anyway. Also burned some persimmon last night and this morning

    Eh, maybe just over a foot. Ares west of here got a bit more. Friend of mine in Hamilton measured 18" on the flat. Hard to get a good measurement with all the wind. I've some 3' drifts in places. Just another snow event.

    Well I got a full 24hr burn from the load of Red Oak last night. Woke this morning to -8*F house at a comfortable 70*. Loaded another big load of Oak tonight.
    Stay warm everyone!

    In exchange for the weather-sitting, you'll be getting these for the summer.

    Wheeler, quad, ATV, 4 wheeler. Not "bike" though. Bikes have 2 wheels. No more than that. ;)

    Yep, most are closed tomorrow as well. Roads are decent now, but the windchill is their excuse. Bunch of pansies if you ask me. I'll give em Tuesday & Yesterday as visibility was an issue. Today wasn't too bad I didn't think. Road commission keeps slinging salt that just melts & re freezes to make slick ice. Not sure why sand is so difficult to figure out. No shortage of it around here.:loco: :crazy:
    -3F here, light wind & clear. Not bad at all. Oak in the boiler.

    Blip of warm? We're sitting at -14 C or 6 F (bit of wind on top) now and probably the same earlier. Short lived mind you, but nice just the same. Almost 78 f indoors.
