Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

25 overnight. Snow finally stopped late but wind kept blowing and finally died down overnight.

 

SW Michigan 37F and rain... northwest wind 15 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph...Ash/Cherry

 

How much snow you figure? We dont have any yet which is odd. Im hoping the drought ends soon. We are a lot better off than the folks in Vancouver (14 hour drive away). There isnt any snow on the mountains yet but snow is in the forecast. -5c/23f with frost this morning. I had a fire last night but the furnace can do its thing while Im at work.

 

41 now down to 36 tonight. Good bed of coals when I got in. Burning ash. Silver maple, and cherry for tonight. FU fuel oil man....

 

Local radio station said 14".

Today, we went for a short drive and one spot I drove through had a 2' snowbank along the highway. Parking lots snow was plowed up over 4' already.

Today, the snow is well on the way of settling, compacting and more importantly....melting!

 

I will be starting the first fire of the season this evening. Very early cold snap down here as it will hit 30 tonight. Some 2 year seasoned oak is on the menu.

 

My how quickly things can change! Happy middle of october I’ll bet it’s beautiful though

 

The trees that hadn't dropped their leaves yet are looking like candy canes now.

Home from vaca to a 63 degree house. 50 outside. Fired up some chestnut oak about 1.5 hours ago and I'm at 68 now.

 

46, gusty and headed down to 32. Burning white and red oak.

 

Does this mean you got out of raking leaves this fall? Talk about a win

 

50 and dropping fast towards freezing by dawn. Burning the last of my silver maple with one large barkless wedge cut of white oak on top, just to get rid of it. I almost forgot how nicely white oak burns.

 

Have not lit it yet.. Won’t until wife closes the bedroom windows with her hot flashes
Still 60s in house by morning and warms up with any sun

 

28 right now with the windchill. Just lit up some box elder after working outside in this cold wet miserabke weather all day.

 

38F with a stiff NW wind and some light rain. Rinse & repeat tomorrow they say. This is the crap weather I keep a few cord under the boiler roof for. I put a few pieces of actual "real" Oak in for overnight due to the wind.

 

About as cold as it’s gonna get here overnight at 38 with the same brisk NW wind as amateur cutter house. Supposed to clear and start warming up here starting thursday in typical Michigan fashion

 

35 here headed down to 26 tonight. No fire yet, house is holding at 69. Supposed to be back in the 80's later in the week.


Mike in Okla

 

36 and clear. Changing it up this morning burning a mixed load of cedar and a few splits of weeping cherry.
