My name is Mike, and I'm a hoarder in Ok.

We have had some days where there was a bit of snow but nothing that accumulated.

While on my drive the other morning, the side mirrors and front of the vehicle got a generous coating of ice due to weather conditions.

 

There is significant snow on one of the Adirondacks we can see from here.

 

First fire yesterday! Weather was fairly mild but very rainy. I wanted to get the "first fire" smell off the stove while it was mild enough to open widows (53* F overnight). I wiped the stove all down with a damp cloth and also the exposed stove pipe. Unfortunately I can't get into the baffles without a lot more work. Fired up, opened a couple of strategic windows and all was over with in a couple hours. Low temps last night at 41*F so a fire felt good this am! Coffee by the fire and a good book in the early hours and the Wif was warm and happy when she got up. No need to fire up the heat pump. Burning some Doug Fir bark which I seem to have a lot of this year!

 

45/72 almost identical to last night, have the stove loaded for light off at about 10

 

38/75 lumber cutoffs at the moment.
Going down to low 30's. Elm chunks for the overnight.

 

41F out, burning a small fire with my shoulder season mix of tulip poplar, pine, and black cherry.

 

33/71 Lumber cutoffs

 

32/63 shorties. Lodgepole/quakie

 

29 Clear skies

Windy yesterday-real windy!

 

Was going to tell you since I've been burning alot of them big chunks and cookies give great burn times without getting to wild.

 

The wife who always complains of being cold wasnt amused this morning when she woke up and it was 81 inside. I guess 2 white oak splits was a bit more firepower than needed.

 

41° tonight, some pine and ash. It was perfect firewood work weather after getting home today. I let the routine and mundane get in the way of splitting a couple of cart loads.

 

44/72 lumber cutoffs

 

38

Clear sky all night but was bright due to the almost full moon.

 

-3C/27F at the moment
Looks like temps above freezing will go away forever shortly, or 5-6 months, same thing
Poplar and pine

 

37 this morning, and 75 inside. Stove is holding plenty of heat from last night's fire until it gets to a high of 77 today.
