32° already this am. We have a nice stretch of not brutal cold weather. Ash in the stove. 72° in the stove room at 7:30 am. Now it's 76° in the stove room.
We had - 11.4 last night before I hit the sleeper, when we had our first cup of coffee this morning it was -3.2. Overnight I ran the pellet stove, we had 68 up here and 66 in the sleeper. We're back burning the wood stove today.
Actually, not bad here today. Got up to 28 which is higher than it's been in 2 weeks. Most nights are at 0 or below. Ain't flip flop weather yet but it's coming.................sometime.
Made it up to 36 today with bright sun. Was 75 upstairs at 4:00. Just now got some maple and sycamore up to temp and engaged the cat.
23 here but it’s not supposed to drop much further overnight. More snow on the way tomorrow, followed by a warming trend. Right now I’m burning up some red/sugar maple chunks and uglies, with a little black locust mixed in.
Woke up to 11” of fresh snow on the driveway this morning. The weather geniuses literally didn’t see it coming. Last night they said there was a 5% chance of less than an inch. Currently burning Lodgepole Pine and Douglas Fir in the Oslo. 14 degrees outside. 75 degrees in the house. I’m drying a few snow covered splits by the Oslo to get a little humidity in the air.
C'mon Cash! Ya gotz to learn to listen, brother! All that means is there is a 95% chance of something else....and that's what ya got!
24/76. Have a few smalls of red oak and a chunk of mulberry in the firebox w/ a flue temp of about 550. Trying to raise the temps again before the overnight load.
It's 21.7 tonight with the wood stove getting a load of soft and hard maple with four rounds of ironwood on the top row, the temp up here is 70 and the basement is 78.
It's 12* here, 65 in. Lots of coals from last night, added everything that was in the almost empty porch wood box. Small stuff odds & ends, I gotta refill the wood box when the sun comes up.
