    Schools re opening today after last Fridays snow. Yesterday on my way home from a wood delivery I saw a car hit a slick spot in a shady curve and wreck. More cold and snow in the forecast.

    -3. I suspect the boiler still has some wood in there but I'm not going out there to check for a couple hours...hopefully it will warm up some by then.

    No winds, no snow, no cloud cover. A very bright night with the moon reflecting.

    Ash and a little Elm in this morning. Woke up to an empty boiler wood chamber this morning. Had to do a quick fire build with a little paper and a lighter. The fan forced draft makes that easy though.
