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

-27c now.

 

-17 f here this a.m., at least the wind seems to have laid down. Got 9 hour burn outa both stoves ast night. Re fired them both after stirring up the coal be. 71 here in the cave. Beech and Hard Maple on the menu.

 

Loon and Rottiman have said it all for me. Wish I didn't have to go out today.

At least it is nice and sunny, so we'll have some solar gain to help heating.

Stinny, I initially read your post" nothing right around the stove" to mean: everything wrong about the stove. Relieved when I realized you were referring to the smoke and not the stove. Hope things are better now. Cold heavy air cause this? Kind of counter intuitive. Extreme cold = strong draft.....

 

Clear skies last night at midnite when I went to bed . It was zero. Was sure it would drop to 20 below overnight.
Woke up to -1 around 6:30.
72 in.
Wood room is about half full. Lowest its been all winter. Pretty good species mix of whats left in there.
Now that it isn't stacked to the ceiling ,,, sometime this week I'll fill it out of the attached shed. Snows 3 foot deep around the outside pile. # 1 reason I built that attached shed.
Wood in that shed has been in there 3-4 years. All beech. I'm thinking its gonna be shirt free February the rest of the month for the lil woman.

 

14 when I got up this am, stove room was still 71, stoked the stove up with red oak, 78 when I left for the office.

JW... shirt free February... has a nice ring to it.

 

-17.5 on the Radio Shack Special this morning, I never made it down to fill the wood stove for an overnight fire (burning down coals) but I did kick on the pellet stove which saved my butt.

It was 78 in the basement, 67 upstairs in the living room and a bit cooler in the sleeper, 65.

The pellet stoves getting a break today so I finally have the Liberty going with some nice Beech & Maple.

 

28 this morning headed to 60 this afternoon. The stove is going out today again.

 

Dat ain't right this time of year. LOFL

Glad for ya though Stumpshot. Enjoy it.

 

Yep, that strong draft was suckin air in around the basement walls when the smoke gets whirlin and whippin all down around the house with the winds.

 

Tee Shirt weather 54 slight breeze lit fire to keep house in the low 70s. Cold stove again tonight. Everyone in the east and great white north stay safe and warm. The Jet Stream will change i know it.

 

In my mind, the snow and sub freezing temps just need to last until after march 8th weekend. It can all melt and warm up that Sunday night and I'd be happy. We're renting a big cabin up north for my 40th bday and snowmobiling with friends.

I have 1 row of wood left at the house css'd 10ft x 4’ x 18-20". I'll be burning a bit with the cold temps we are having, but i should have enough for the season.

It's a balmy 16° out now, but it's going to be short lived with single digits to negatives the next few days. Windy too, 40 mph winds tomorrow.

 

15cm snow tonite and not too bad temps tomorrow but Sunday looks like a fun day with -20c high and big winds.
Think I'll be working IN the house this weekend.

 

Some of our up coming wind chills.

• * WIND CHILL READINGS... MINUS 15 TO MINUS 25 SATURDAY NIGHT... MINUS 20 TO MINUS 30 SUNDAY... MINUS 30 TO MINUS 40 SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING.

 

Callin for a low of 0*F on sunday mornin . I was hoping not to see the negatives again like last year but sunday might just creep down enough.

 

Suppose to be about 15F below tonight... Not that bad...But...This is suckin now...

 

Said tonight on the news that this is lining up to be the coldest February in this area in 89 years..........
Global Warming my arse.............................................

 

55 here,had doors and windows open,sun going down guss I might have to light something.

 

We know your arse has global warming, you don't have to tell us. That's why Bear keeps moving to the other side of the room!
