    It was just above 0 this morning, the liberty had cherry in it ...... we also burned half a bag of pellets last night.

    We just moved in more cherry before we get a chit load of rain (0.86) coming on Thursday, the brook will be wild if we get that much.

    I'm not sure what the temp is (the radio shack special is on the fritz) I'm thinking about 34-36 degrees so we have some Cherry in the Liberty.

    It's 32 out now, burning Norway pine in the lopi at the he cottage. We had about 4" of snow earlier yesterday am. I'll finish my beer, load some oak in the lopi for overnight, and hopefully sleep and until 9am. Its 1 here, and I busted my butt helping my parents out. Leaving tomorrow about noon. I should still have my wife at my house. ;)

    34º here this morning. I let the boiler go out last night so I could give it a good cleaning sometime today. I'll let the Peerless oil boiler stretch it's legs for a while. Between yesterday and today the snow is taking a beating! :thumbs: Suppose to be low 40's today and rain. A little cooler over the weekend by the looks of things with lows at night 10-15º.

    Same here. Disappearing fast just in the last 2 days. Looks like we lost more in 2 days than the last 10-15.
    37 this morning. Half load in furnace yesterday afternoon at 4:30 made it till 8am this morning. Still 70 in here. Just reloaded.

    Right where I want to be.
    Got a little ice and snow yesterday, then a bunch melted. Then, it froze again.
    Where's my skates?
    Just a little ice on the front walk, but it'll be gone in a couple days.
    According to Inaccuweather, no more overnight temps below about 20 going forward.
    I won't hold my breath.
    Put 3 pine splits in the stove at 8 am, and it's still 70 in here @10.
    I think I'll go get a few more just to keep it that way.

    30 at 5AM,32 now,should see 45 later today,42 tomorrow,48 Saturday.Nice rain on Tuesday,just under half inch over most of metro area.

    Still burning the trusty ol' Silver Maple.60 to 75 forecast for Sunday through Wednesday,so no fires for a while.

    Really can tell Spring is here,going from burning 24/7 for 2-3 weeks at a stretch to only burning 2-3 days weekly,starting a new fire each time.

    9 am here, I slept in as I hoped I would. It's 72° in the loft at the cabin, so the lopi is working well.

    Broke 50 here today but overnight has been dipping to mid 20s. It was a beautiful shirt sleeve day to trim dead wood from my apple tree. Ended up with some nice 8 inch rounds. I think I stopped and pondered the fall direction and the likely twist for every branch before the cut. That stuff was twisted and heavy and I was not going to end up under it. As it is I had to wedge my saw out once.
