    It's been another cold winter but lets hope this will be the last of the Arctic cold. I would rather have the cold than the snow they received in the New England States.

    I'm starting to get the itch to cut.

    -13 here on my back porch, slight wind. The wind is up and down here. Just calling it a night. Boiler chucked full of Ash. Should get me 7-7.5 hours at these temps. Glad I'm not as cold as some places. Strange how a lot of places south of me are colder. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Stay warm guys.

    Sure is, two years in a row. We're surrounded by trees so it cuts down the wind.

    The temp up here is 73, the floor temps are 73 so I'm thinking the sleeper is 68.

    We're at -12 so we still should drop to -20 or below, I'm thinking colder.

    The boiler made it to 5:00 this morning, by the time I got down there at 5:30 it had a few red coals left. I caught it in time and filled it full of White Pine. Luckily the wife and kids are off this week. So my wife will be able to fill the boiler with White Pine splits every 4-5 hours during the day this week. I will use the Ash exclusively for the overnight burns.

    We had - 25.4 for a low, not sure what the realfeel was. The living room was 68 and the sleeper was 66 when we woke up.

    Just getting ready to fill the wood stove up with Beech.

I just got the house to 70* since 0530, she was cooooold in here 52*, Grandma only had some small coals but she's up and running again, For everyone above me North, and in this cold snap, please stay safe! Nothing outside is worth getting hurt over.

    1* outside when I got up at 7:30 and the house was 57*! Loaded up the firebox with some maple and playing catchup heating the place. Currently 64*. I wish all of my walls were insulated lol. The back bedrooms where I had the floor and walls spray foamed are nice and cozy with the electric radiators.

    HOLY SCHNICKEYS !!! -34 F and the F does't just stand for Fahrenheit !!!!!!!!! :bug:
    66 in
    IIRC last year the lowest it got was -27.
    Running a quick load of small pieces and kruglies wide open just to get the temp up then I'll bank in a nice load of oak, beech and coal.
