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

50s, rainy, just miserable out. Its like non stop mud season out there
I have SS wood going to take dampness out of house.

 

20° out and dropping. Burning ash.

Last night was freezing rain, snow and sleet. Didn't go anywhere last night. Snow about to start.

 

When we got up this morning my son looked out the window and said “fog again, we already had fog”. For years we always went ice fishing g New Year’s Day. This year not so much…lame!

 

-18* overnight....-5* now/75* inside.....burned coals down this morning, so poplar and pine to bring stove back up....will be Ash and Burr Oak overnight.
Bright sunshine and no wind yet....wind chill advisory for evening and overnight.

 

It was about 12* this morning with snow starting about 9:30am. Weather guessers had us in for 7”-11” but have since backed us down to 4”-7”. We probably have 4”-5” on the ground & the snow is tapering off. Stiff north winds calling for wind chills about -25* tonight with air temps around -12*

Currently it’s 0* outside, 80* in the living room with the front door open for fresh air. Everyone but Mama is comfortable, Osage is keeping things toasty.

I am headed out to shovel some snow & prep the grill for steaks.

 

Finally cold enough for a fire again 16 outside and snowing 72 inside. Got some ash off gassing and just cruising along.

 

26f headed to 12f tonight. Red oak in the stove.

Well season red oak

 

55ºF , fog and occasional rain all day
blah

 

around 8PM now and the OAT is 4F. Supposed to drop below zero tonight. I think the oil furnace will kick in by the time I get up for church.

 

21F & dropping here, stiff N wind with a bit of snow still falling. Maybe 2 or 3" of the 5-7" they predicted. It's finally cold enough to use the "backup" stove for a day or two. The boiler's full of some Oak & the indoor stove has some Maple & Ash. It's way too warm in here, but the boiler won't use much wood lol. Indoor is 76.

 

-6 F degrees here. 76 in the house. Plowed 14” of snow off the driveway today.

Burning Douglass Fir in the Oslo.

Hope all are well. It’s been a tough week here.

 

17’. Feels like 6 according to weather app. NW 8 mph. At the hunting cabin. Both wood stoves rolling. Think I may have put too much Osage (hedge) in the one stove. U can smell how hit it’s gotten. I’ve got the air intake lever all the way shut and it’s still going strong. Also red oak in the stoves mostly with the hedge.

Doesn’t look we are getting the 1-2” of snow. I was really hoping we’d get it. I haven’t deer hunted with a light dusting of snow in years.

 

22F outside. Had new snow on Thurs and Friday, don't amount to much here in town but it's getting deep in the Mtns. Burning Lodgepole.

 

Getting colder. 18f with 95% humidity and 12mph wind. Feels like 5f. Rained yesterday evening and most of today switching to sleet and freezing rain.

71f in the house and a mix of oak and hickory burning. A bit of red cedar to wake the fire up if I let the coals get low.

 

15° out. Snowing too. 4-6" they said. I'll deal with it tomorrow, even though it's going to be single digits supposedly.

Burning ash. 77° inside
