    Rotti, we have single digits below zero last night (as we speak, the wind chill is -20f) and again tonight (wed), so I think it might be on the way to your place. Thu will be low teens and then fri starts a few days just above the freezing mark. That'll make some of the snow settle!
    Old man winter is not ready to move on yet. Old man winter is not ready to move on yet.

    17f here this a.m., with Maple in the stove overnight....no DV.
    Almost 66 in the living room.
    Lots of coals, so I put in another 4 small-med. Maple splits, and those should last for a bit and warm the house back up.
    Of course, the forecast changed quite a bit overnight, and the warmer temps for next week got moved back a few days. It'll still be warmer, but a lot of the sunshine is gone from the forecast.
    The DV will get used tonight.
    We got just a bit under 3" of the 3-6" of snow forecast for yesterday.

    Super excited to see 40's in the near future. I'm not a fan of the muddy mess that is ahead but it's something I'll deal with. :)

    Woke up to 36F and heavy rain with temps slowly dropping. Supposed to get 1-18" today :rofl: :lol: . Got a load of oak and pallet cut offs in the volcano and some softwoods in the hastings. Enjoying my coffee then off to work to watch the snow accumulate enough so we can start plowing.

    Forecast was -6 last night, but it was -15 out the kitchen window at 6 a.m.
    Snafu.
    Still working the Maple. Warmup starting Saturday.........maybe, so the wood use will drop during the day at least.
