5 out, 75 in. It’s been freaking cold and there are 2 more storms in the pipeline as Midwinter mentioned so I think that groundhog must have been stoned lol. With another cold snap behind the storms I don’t think spring is coming anytime soon. We got down to less than a cord so I bought a pallet of Lewis Bricks yesterday to stretch it out through the end of the season. They’re putting out some great heat!
It’s almost midnight and I can’t sleep because the house hasn’t cooled off enough yet from the heat of the day, I’m seriously considering sleeping outside. 69F outside 80.9F inside! They say that it is now officially the hottest Australian summer on record! 2018-19 was Australia's hottest summer on record, with a warm autumn likely too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Only got down to around 10 last night. 30 now. Might get a slight thaw before this afternoon is done.
Another bluebird day, hopefully it will warm up like all week has. It’s -17 and 74 in the house all thanks to spruce. Breaking the splitter out later get get the birch split.
Funny thing is I can fall asleep in front of the fire in winter no problem at all but in summer when it’s been hot all day I just cannot sleep until it cools down! It’s a different heat to after 3 hot days the thermal mass of brick walls, the house can feel like an oven. It’s better now the cooler has been running for 9 hours pushing cool air trough the house. It’s still 69F outside at 5:12am, the sun rises in 2 hours and it will be baking again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cabin fever in full swing here, officially annoyed by never ending no let up winter. Sure we've had some warmer days but not enough to shake off the forever winter feeling.
I have a big Honeywell evaporative air cooler. It works really well when the humidity isn’t too high. But I was at work for 13 hours yesterday and the house was closed up the whole time when I got home and walked in the back door it really wasn’t pleasant at all. It takes a while to bring the thermal mass of a brick building down to a comfortable temperature after several hot days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Look on the bright side leoht in a couple months you may get to experience Spring in Michigan & Fall in Oz in the same month.
-17c/1.5f with pine and fir in the box. We had blowing snow and an inch or two today. Temps outside have been slowly sliding. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
