Most of y'all are colder than I am here. Currently 31°F ambient temperature. Light breeze 4 sticks of fkws and 1, 4" round of fkbs in the stove . Closed down pretty tight. This evening was the first time our wood stove was actually out cold since at least October 2021. I have been impatient and got it kicked up faster with some help from WD-40 and a Bic , but there were still coals and the stove was still putting off heat. Tonight it was cold. But , it got up to 48°F at the house today . Supposed to be much cooler tomorrow
36 It looks like I’m going to have to move wood into the house 1 more time to cover some cool nights.
31/69 We got the ice overnight; schools and stuff closed throughout the area. No snow and The winds did not start overnight.....just a couple stray cgusts and that was it.
Hopefully the big snow predicted will pass us. So far, so good. Small accumulation of 2" or snow on top of the ice that pretty much melted yesterday. Winds have begun. 27/68
33/69 with a fresh coat of the white stuff that showed up overnight.... I loaded Red Oak yesterday before 5pm. It really is some good long lasting stuff!
34/67. Loaded up on R.Oak 30 minutes ago. Warming nicely. The boss was getting chilled at 65..... I guess 21hrs was stretching my luck on the reload schedule At least for wifey.
27/66. Just dropped a single split on for coal melting duty. R.Oak is staged and waiting to do its job. Have a great day everyone.
