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

huh???

 

That’s 10 miles away. We live in a low spot and it gets much colder here.

 

17/78 bone dry dead standing cherry I cut today. This stuffs like gasoline. Meanwhile the idiots found a mouse and spent a good 30 minutes chasing it under the snow. Lol

 

My lacrosse weather station is off. Way off. This recently happens. Right now it shows this.

It's actually 20° out. I checked 3 other sites and that's really what it is. Idk if I need to change batteries in the outdoor sensor or what.

 

Yeah our screen locks up like that as well when our batteries are toast.

 

17. Just loaded the wood chamber with Elm and Ash. Should be good till 6am

 

My AcuRite works pretty good It's close with the readings at the airport that is about 4 miles away , it gets colder at my house though because of all the woods around
Once in a while it have a glitch for hot minute and say it's 145 degrees out or something

 

10/71 more ash and maple rolling along

 

13/71 BL and Shagbark

 

It’s the first snow we’ve had in 2 winters and the temperatures have been below average for an extended stretch.
17 burning oak

 

19 with snow. 2" to unlimited depending on where you look, is forecasted. Stove ate some red oak and cherry this morning.

 

A very balmy 27 this morning but it'll be back to cooler temps by Sunday.

 

20/70 red maple, aspen, cherry and mulberry.

 

Weve had such a mild winter so far. Its been below freezing for the most part with snow being on the ground for months now but no real cold weather that we are accustomed to. Some of our bigger lakes still had open water a week ago. On Sunday I hiked into a back country lake Ive ice fished for decades. I was able to fish but the lake only had 4.5 inches of ice on it with half of that being white ice. Normally it would be at least double that if not more depending on how much snow sits on the ice insulating it. Heres a few pics. The first one is my golden looking back across one of the lakes we crossed and the second is of her hiding behind the bushes next to the trunk of a big old larch tree. -1c/30f right now, the warmest morning in weeks. It looks like we are all going to get some cold weather and Im looking forward to having some normal winter temps for awhile. I have a reload of larch in the stove this morning. Have a good day everyone!

 

It's 22* here now, it was 0* when I woke this morning. Oak and Cherry.

 

Woke up to 19* this AM, steady mix of maple and oak during the day with all oak for overnight burns.

Been hitting the wood hard this winter so far. Going to need to re-supply the shed and front porch over next few weeks.

 

We’ve been using it pretty good too. At least we have plenty to burn. Still have a pile of cutting and splitting to do on some of it, but it’s here and that’s the most important part.

I really am ready for spring. I have stuff I want to get done.

 

We hit a warm spell and got abover freezing today and same for tomorrow.

Ash and a couple suprise sticks of white oak in the boiler. I'm going to have to use tomorrow to burn down the coals before next week.

 

32* last night. 45* today. 33* tonight. Knotty Doug Fir splits in the Country T-top stove keeping it toasty inside. Last couple days have been splitting and stacking about 2 cords of Doug Fir rounds to keep warm outside. Been feeling lazy today and may just sit by the fire! We are expecting a cold spell (cold for Western Washington state) for the next week so may just spend time working in the shop. Hope all are healthy and well fed!

 

We picked up a bug somewhere and everyone got sick. It’s driving me nuts. I wanted to get my shop mezzanine put in over the last 2 weeks, but that isn’t happening.
