    Nord its amazing how the wind strips heat from a house. Those winds you are experiencing are no joke! -19c/-2f in our part of the Rockies this morning. Clear skies and thankfully no wind! Doug fir in the stove keeping the chill away.

    The winds grew stronger but not what Backwoods Savage or Nord are having.

    Hope there's none of these near you guys!

    Fortunately the temps are around 31. Winds are nasty….. IMG_6008.png Using a mix of hardwood I came into under the porch. Small rounds of Hard Maple. Medium size Elm splits, and a few large Beech splits.

    It is going down to 6 degrees by 8am. I have some very large “all nighter” Ash splits for the overnight.

    I did something similar. Fortunately my wife smelled hot before we got to the pegged stage. Wind and barometer must have been just right because it never takes off as fast as it did.
