Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

That looks like a Yamaha Grizzly 660 you got there RDG.

 

It’s a Honda Rancher 420, but I sometimes wish it was a 660. Gets the job done though so no complaints.

 

The Honda's are a good machine, enjoy!

 

Welcome RDG!
42 and 76, just put a hemlock and a couple beech splits in to keep the chill out.

 

32 here, no frost.

 

Forecast says "significant amounts" of snow on the way tomorrow evening/night.


We'll see.

 

I hope we see any snow this winter, sure do miss the Omaha area winters.

 

Seems like most winters are a bust around here anymore. Just a couple of light snows last year. Year before, first year of tractor/snowblower, was something else so maybe 50/50 on real winters. Like the snow and the moisture, but hate shoveling and driving in it.
Looks like we will be connecting the stove again this weekend as Woodstock has not gotten back to us for the repairs.

 

Winters here have been light in the past 5 years. Local XC skiing and snowmobiling near nil.
Great for firewood harvesting and hiking. But go inland +/- 20 miles it's a different world of snow.
And, any hunting in season is also fallen off. Local hunters would get their take every year when we
first came in the 90's. Now too many deer starve.

 

A brisk walk this morning. It's cold but at least it's dry! Low 20's.

 

30 ish this AM when I got up at 3Out the door around 5 to hustle a couple wheel barrow loads of splits up to the house (I needed some exercise!). 55 splits per load. Big two wheel unit works nice. Hardly tell I had a load on. Felt good to do a little something out in the cold and dark. Couldn't sleep anyway!

 

Just after lunch today we had some snow flurries but nothing stuck. Thunderstorms on Thursday. A roller coaster of a week with weather.

 

Highs in the 70’s lows in the 50’s so fires out again.

 

We got some accumulation today but then it started to rain and it was gone. Looking at a high of 41 in the next 7 days. I’m really hoping we get another stretch of at least 50’s

 

Outside is white once again.

99 lbs is looking at the OWB and sighing out loud! (I haven't started it yet! )

 

You have snow ???

 

53 outside, 74 inside, a few splits of elm and ash burning.

 

Yes.

 

34 out this morning with 6 inch's of fresh snow... That can melt anytime now.

69 in the house with oak and maple in the OWB.
