    Winter has finally arrived. Thermometer is sitting at -8 (without the windchill factored in). Sitting in the middle of the 14-24" range for Monday.

    Perhaps our warm up is over. Got up to +25° F ambient temperature yesterday.
    Pretty nice day. I've been shoveling a roof for our realtor . 5 hours is about all I got in me per day on the shovel this week. I can still run my pace. Just for a shorter time per day. It's a pretty good roof. 4or 5 " slope. But it has 3 valleys . I have 10 hours on that one so far. About 2 1/2 hours to go. IMG_20220114_131926292.jpg IMG_20220114_132054784.jpg

    I haven't needed to be on rope for this house as it has a shingle roof. I got the back of the house done yesterday.
    Currently -10°F ambient. Winds fairly calm
    Birch and dry white spruce in the stove

    Sold two places this past summer. One was mine, one was hers. Both of those places required shoveling the rooves. I do not miss that at all and unless we get some crazy amount of snow, I do not see myself climbing onto the roof for shoveling again. :handshake:

    Hey Cold Trigger Finger you were asking about my stove a couple weeks ago, concerning the secondary burn. Here’s what it looks like. You can see the flames shooting out of the red hot tubes on top, despite the air control being pushed almost all the way in. Stove is loaded pretty full of beech and chestnut oak at the moment.

    Sunny but breezy 22 out now, heading for 12 overnight. Just finishing off a load of spruce I put in at lunch and ran some good air to it to stay ahead of the cold. Ash and sycamore soon.

    Currently 17, headed to 7 @ 7a. Burning red oak till the evenings last fill, then it will be shagbark and chestnut oak. Prepped the snow blower for tomorrow’s shenanigans.

    9 here at my house with zero on the horizon by dawn. Just got home and reloaded the stove with black locust and a little Osage Orange. It won’t be long now before this starts to really roll :thumbs:

    Loaded the overnight with some beech and white oak. The oak was split today from a log laying in the way of a path in the woods. Pretty good day here. Moderate temps and sun .

    recording the New England game until end of the half. Then jump through the commercials.

    stay warm all those in the storm path.

    Got to 16F here today, but the wind never stopped. Right at 0 chill factor all day. Hauled 12 cord of wood back here. 8 degrees out now and still breezy. Oak and Beech in both cookers. Was really nice coming into the warmth.

    -10/71 wind out of the East which doesn't happen often. Maybe something to do with the nor'easter that's coming?
