    I hate that this time of year. Last week iirc our DRIFT built by about 1 foot. It had been settling. Then in 2 days of wind it was back up to almost its peak height for the winter.

    Battening down the hatch's here. Not a fan of Tornado weather.
    Letting my stove go out until this passes. Goofy weather anyway.

    I agree, can't stand spring. The frost coming out and everything muddy and flooded.

    60+ MPH winds today and a high of 90f. So far, no storms and looking like they will be north or Iowa is going to get blown away. Stay safe out there. Talking a high of 50 tomorrow and some nights below freezing this week so stove may not be done yet.

    Yikes I hope everyone is safe.

    45f now, getting close to freezing tonight. Maybe I’m still warm from yard work, but it doesn’t feel close to that. Burning all the dregs from the yard, including lumber cutoff and even old fire pit wood that wasn’t pretty enough to make the Grand Fir stack by the firepit.

    Nothing.

    Aside from reloading the stove yesterday am, the stove has gone out and not needing to be going now. 52° outside. 70° in.

    We're supposed to get colder temps and wind and or rain. I'll probably start up the quadrafire again tomorrow night, and then every night again through next week Thursday if the forecast is right.

    Rain off and on overnight and looks like a very wet day on store for us today! I'm thinking there'll be a lot more bare spots in the yard today!!

    It was 40 when I got up this morning and I was on the fence about lighting the stove. The bone dry spruce on the hearth was too easy to pass up though. Not many burning days left... (hopefully)

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention.

    The "S" word is predicted for tonight/tomorrow. Why not? Make those robins wait for their meals a bit longer.

    49/68. The strong storms/tornado's missed us here at home. A hour north of here was not as fortunate. Still early but some reporting is showing building damage in some rural areas.

    Looking like we will be cleaning ash and firing back up this am. 40's/20's for the foreseeable forecast. And lots of wind:rofl: :lol: Here we go!
    Who wanted sunny spring conditions anyway?

    It was in the low 60's this morning. It was downright muggy. 58° and rain now. They are talking about some possible snow over night
    That's enough of that.
