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

35/55 when I woke! Wife let the fire go out yesterday and I didn't start one before turning in for the night. Started up this AM w/ pine and chestnut oak and raised the inside temp by 11 degree's in one hour.

 

About -10 C/14 F again...think I'll quit posting my groundhog day weather report until the weather gets back to normal.

 

Mild at 39 here, and the rain has moved on for the most part. It’s supposed to drop down to around freezing by morning. I’m burning mostly elm with a couple black locust shorts mixed in just for the coaling qualities.

 

32/79 Elm

 

35/72 have some beech and ash going this evening. 28 overnight with a skip of snow blowing through.

 

Right at freezing overnight. Had some beech I was tired of looking at, so I split it and threw it in.
up to 40 and some sun tomorrow. Will move some splits to the shed.

 

We had wet slop all day yesterday. The 10 day looks like more seasonable temps but still nothing bone chilling.
27/73 elm

 

19. Ash and Pine is today’s fuel.

 

29 and Red Oak has the house feeling fine.

 

35/70 have some beech, ash and locust catching.

 

33/76. Reloaded with one split walnut and 2 rock oak.

 

38/ house warming up from 60 with some oak and cherry
I load up the stove heavy before 10 and let it go out during the night

 

33/63. I didn't have a fire last night, house was at 68 when I went to bed. Red oak bringing it back up to my comfort range.

Good Morning, 26 out. We picked up another couple inches of powder on top of the 3" from yesterday. Red Oak and Cherry in the stove.

 

It's crazy. We had a good storm earlier this year, then it got up to like 60° it all melted, and now we are lucky it we get some flurries.

28° out. Ash and catalpa in the quadrafire. 70° inside. I'll need to dig up more non coaling wood. Catalpa, pine, box elder even. Or I'll be pushing both choocher valves open and letting the coals burn down as much as possible.

The weather forecast for the week looks pretty much the same with supposedly some snow showers mixed in. Probably amounting to not much. Next weekend they say it will get much colder, but they said that was supposed to be the weather this weekend, the weekend before. So I don't trust that forecast at all. Lol

 

23 when I got up this morning to take the dog out. 29 now and windy but the sun is shining so what is left of the snow is sliding off the (metal) roof. Comfortable 68 inside with a mix of beech and ash in the Regency.

Ended up with around 7 inches out of the Thursday/Fridy storm. Thankfully this time the snow was not rain-soaked so was easy to clear. Multiple storms in the extended forecast so winter is finally here. Now I don't feel as guilty about not splitting wood!

Somewhere under all that snow is about six cords of rounds/logs waiting to be processed. Some of those existing stacks may be used for 23/24, depending on how much more gets used this year out of the woodshed (each stack is about 1.25 cord). Everything else is for 24/25 and beyond. Not bad considering I didn't split a single piece of wood last year (still not sure how that happened).

 

34/72 just loaded some ash, white oak and cherry. Mid 20's overnight.
