    32 now. Temp is supposed to rise through the night to close to 50 tomorrow then get cold for the weekend.

    This year has had more days with temps falling and nights with temps rising than I can ever remember. It seems like it used to be a once in a while thing....it's been at least weekly this year.

    Haven't ventured out to the boiler yet but I'm sure it has plenty of yesterday's load left. Going to hold off on loading it so I can harvest some good lump charcoal for dinner tonight.

    With the warmer weather, we've been burning some pellets when needed. We hit 46 yesterday with a low of 36.4 this morning.

    Since we have this warmer weather, I did a full clean on the inside of the wood stove this morning, when I finished I started a fire in the wood stove with some Ash.

    22 out right now, snowing and the wind is blowing strong! Calling for it to warm up some and turn to a rain/snow/ice mix... Don't need that.

    Understood, that's your 10 mm Glock. I'd probably carry a 10 mm if I lived in AK. A semiauto is much more portable/ compact than any larger chambered revolver, plus more rounds capacity.

    27° now. 74° in.

    Ash in the quadrafire.

    Temperatures are going to go up tonight, up to 30°. Then it's supposed to snow 1-3" from 9 pm until like 3 am.

    Usually with the days end, the wind dies down. Not tonight, we are getting more wind now than all day!

    Was a nice sunny day today. Never got above 0° F . But nice and pretty.
    Temp dropped fast when evening and night can on . Dropped about 25° down to -30°F. Then bounced up to -20 in 2 hours.
    Stove loaded with fkws and maybe 1 round of fkbs.

    Buenos snowshoes. Opened door to grab some wood and everything covered with snow. Wind was such it blew in on the porch and it is a wet snow. Might hit 40 so it should melt.
