winter is back 28 and a load of oak in the stove ,and back to 50 they say next week ,very strange season
21 at 4 am 24 now Opened the back door to gander the full moon and got a big dose of skunk! Springs coming. Oak,beech and coal cooking in the beast.
I don't live here, just here for work. It was only in the 60s at my house ha! I live 250 miles north of here.
Ha yea, there out! ThE grass is half green half frost killed. Tree frogs out . I'm more glad I don't live near this huge city! I'm south of downtown by like 20to30 mins. I can't believe the stuff. And there is a lot of vacant Comercial property from brand new to 10+ years old. I have seen more closed down gas stations around here than I have seen in a wholE year!
Went to bed with the OAT at about 25, and that's what it was when I got up. About 7-8 pieces of Oak in last night and the house was still 68 when I got up at 9am. (yep, I slept in) Installed 4 small Oak rounds in the stove this morning. May have to reinstall some more later, but we're going up to mid-30s, and the sun is bright in a completely clear sky. Solar gain should help some today.
Chilly. Icy. Supposed to be sunny, but it isn't. No mice all winter, so I relaxed my deterrent measures. Two feet of snow outside and guess who has come to dinner.....
not too cold the last couple of days so only needing a fire at night to stay warm. my wood of choice today will be maple. every day with no fire is firewood saved! the weather liars are talking about rain and snow coming in the next day or two so we will see what weather this way comes!
I loaded the stove yesterday before leaving for work and about had the wife opening windows....let it burn out today, they were calling for 45º and sunny, I had 57º on the truck therm. today. 45º out now so might put a small fire in the stove for overnight.

Glad you noted the skunk, I saw my first dead one yesterday and keep forgetting to tell my wife. They are one of my signs of Spring just around the bend. {edited out the typos}
Put in a few oak splits after work. Snowed a bit today, expecting maybe an inch tonight, and a "glaze" of ice. Heavy rain tomorrow, so we'll load the jotul before bed and again tomorrow morning with hickory & oak.
