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

I read in a book once not to let him in. Just saying.

 

Thermometer is showing 0 degrees outside but the house is holding beautifully around 76 degrees. So far no coal build up at all. Will say i am burning more wood than usual though.

 

Walked out of the house to let the dog out this morning to 57 degrees. Snow going up in a fog. Supposed to wake up to 7 tomorrow. 50 degree swing in 24 hours. Been splitting the Hickory down to smaller sizes to help offset these temps (colder). Seems to help keep the fire hot and the coaling down.

 

Just shut the Pellet Stove off, started up a nice fire in the Liberty with Beech & Sugar Maple.

It's still 22 degrees but the cold front should move in around 1 a.m.

With the wind chill they're calling for -15 to -25.

 

Already feels colder here in the St. Lawrence River valley. The wind is real chilly.

 

-4º here right now and windchills show -31º supposed to be -19 and -45 windchill by morning. Been trying to burn down coals with a split east west but it's not working just adding more coals. Good thing is it's keeping the house comfortable so I will just add 1 split every 90 minutes this evening then load up for bedtime.

 

The last project I worked on for HP was a seismic sensor joint development effort with one of the leading oil companies in the world. We developed a seismic sensor for oil exploration that was 1000 times more sensitive/accurate than the current technology being used all based on MEMS technology. micro electro-mechanical machines. Sometimes called Nano technology. Not only was it more sensitive, it scaled to being able to support 1,000,000 sensors that were all tied together in a wireless network, and using a special Humvee like vehicle, could harvest them from the back of the grid and "plant" them into the front of the grid, thus creating a moving caterpillar seismic survey across the dessert floor.

I worked with many geophysicist ...talk about brainiacs, yikes.

 

Interesting. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for that vision to become a reality and what kind of effect it can have on us.

One of the reasons the experts say we don't know much about the "frost quakes" is that they happen in a small area. Wherever they happen it is localized and may not be picked up on a current sensor. They have detected unknowns before, what they believe were these frost quakes, but the frost quake has to happen in the right place, near a sensor.

 

Windchill is around -40 buring solid elm

 

Back porch thermometer reads about 2° right now. And the wind is blowing steady with gusting up and down sporadically. The Wood Gun went through a whole load of White Ash from 9:30ish to 5:30ish.

 

-6 with a windchill of -24..... 38 degrees in my house.......

 

reading -10 and just getting ready to load the stove

 

Ouch...hope no frozen pipes

 

There is more to that story......didn't want to hijack this thread

-12 in west PA. somewhat gusty. colder than a well digger's hash

 

-21F this morning. I've been burning ash and elm the past few weeks. So far this month our average temp has been -4, average. I can maintain 70-72 during the day, but this goes out the window at night. Lots of coaling, lots of wood being used, and my gas furnace kicks on at 3 am. Until I get my back side out of bed to reload. 30 by Saturday!

 

We hit 11f last night. Burned a 3.5 cuft box of locust. You can really tell there is no insulation in house today. Heat on far side house, heat pump, ran almost all night to keep that side 60f stove room was 75-80 all night and side we stayed on was no colder than 68. Loaded oak and huge locust splits.Not to gget abovefreezing today!

 

We were around - 19 W/C reading, we ran the Pellet Stove on auto (setting it at 75) the Liberty was loaded with Beech & Sugar Maple, the basement temps when I went down was 77, upstairs in the livingroom was 70 & the bedroom was 68.

The Pellet Stove never ran much, used only about 1/2 a bag.

Plenty of coals left this morning so the Liberty got loaded with Beech & Sugar Maple, I'll be switching to Cherry on Wednesday afternoon.
