    Whoa, super windy this early morning after midnight, I ended up on the recliner it was so loud, sounded like the house was going to take flight like Wizard of Oz a couple times. No microbursts thankfully but yikes the strong wind from that direction sucked all the heat out of here, woke up with 50's inside. 4 more weeks and hopefully better overnight lows.

    Anyone know why wind sounds like a freight train? Previous home I thought it was from being in lots of pine trees. None here and it sounds the same.

    55 going to 28. Just started a fire with some cherry. Strong winds with the cold front. We lost power once. Just heard a tree snap up in the woods. Fingers crossed the house and out buildings go unscathed and we don't lose too many more trees.

    After a few days of summer weather, it will be under thirty tonight. Maple and hickory mix. Missed the first 15 points of the Iowa women , while loading the wood. Hope they go all the way, but also want them to beaten by Indiana one more time.

    38/72. Winds are pretty bad right now. Fingers crossed. The chill temp is expected to dip to almost 10 by 6a. D0EB5056-48DE-44D1-8108-A2D4C857A594.jpeg upload_2024-2-28_22-39-7.png

    Picked out short splits and loaded E/W and packed it to the gills. All RO.

    It was 50+, winds 50+ gusting, and raining like crazy when I tucked in at 10. I loaded the stove good.
    Now at 4 its 27 and windy.
    Woke with doggo giving me licks and the room was cold.....
    I tossed wood on coals and joined life on the board for a minute.

    Stay warm, watch for ice this morning if you are getting this warm front/cold front transition...

    Lit the NC-30 in the basement yesterday and warmed it up real nice. Let the wind blow and the snow fall!

    Maybe you're not aware of it but it sure looks like there is a pronounced sag in the baffle plate of your stove.....??

    It is kind of like some people I know. Every so often it has to talk loudly.
