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

We have lots of sand and some wood ash ready to go.

 

Its 56 right now and I just have coals in my stove from last night. May throw a piece or two of pine in for the day. Then load up some pine tonight. The cold starts about Monday here thru Thursday. Forecast to be in upper 20s Christmas eve thru Thursday

 

Does that work working and does it make an awfull muddy mess when it melts? Seems like sawdust or noodles would b3 best

Bathtub full of water and the ham is on the stove. 'We still have power' but guess Mrs loon is getting ready

Wonder what Buddy and Emma are thinking right now?

 

We lost power for about one hour, you could hear the inline breaker blow, sounded like a shot gun.

When I was putting the chains on the rhino, you could see & hear some trees & branches coming down. The ice coming off the big old pines was enough to keep me from getting the wood ash down in the woods for use on the driveway.

Tonight should be a real nasty night. Before I put the chains on the rhino I sharpened some chains, about five minutes after I was done the power went out.

We are at 31 degrees on our Radio Shack special.

 

We're still burning some Cherry but will switch to Sugar Maple & Beech on Monday or Tuesday.

The above link is what we might get tonight. Attached are two pictures, one is our skating rink (doubles for a driveway) the second is the big old pines fighting mother nature.

 

Will do Ray. I went over to the country store to pick up a sub after putting the chains on, they ask me if I would deliver two papers to some people on our street, so when I delivered them the one lady gave me some baked ziti.

You gotta love it.

 

Do you and the wife have skates woodlands?

 

Yes but we'll wait until tomorrow.

What are you getting for ice & temps?

 

Tree's aint looking too hot here also zap. Couldnt find anything to do earlier so had to go split some wood



Heading back out with the camera but Emma will stay in the house as we are walking on 6inch of snow and i DONT need another vet bill

 

We had our second power loss, looks like things will head into the chitter tonight, stay safe.

Just put a load of Cherry in, branches are still coming down.

 

By this State of Emergency, it tells me the worst will hit tonight, don't sound good.

Temps right around 24 right now. Currently freezing rain. Been doing this off and on all afternoon. Not heavy build up yet. But enough to be one friggin mess. Trees are really starting to sag now. Stay safe man.

 

Has the snapping of trees started where you are at yet woodlands? I remember in 98 you could stand outside on my back deck and it was a very, very regular sound throughout the woods. Made you cringe to think about how many tree branches my parents were losing at the time. And how much clean up that was going to mean around the trail!

 

It must not hit here yet, 78f and doors and windows open to warm up!! Nextfew days lows in 20s
