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

Exactly.
Ma Nature isn't done yet. I'm cautiously optimistic, but plan to burn at least another 2 months.

 

Maine... 2001... March 31-April 1st... 24" of heavy wet snow. Like wet concrete. Would push my pickup sideways... could not steer back straight on level ground... yup... we aren't outa this yet...

 

Yup,,, our area is notorious for a St. Pattys day storm. I think it was around 91 or 92 we had the storm of the century right around St.Patys day. We got around 5' feet of snow in 36 hours. That was the only time in my life I remember being snow bound.

 

We're at 34 and it's snowing, more Cherry in the Liberty.

 

No fire this morning. First time since fall.

 

60's plus next two weeks, stove will be off for a while. Probably done for the year

 

49 OAT at 10 am, and 77 in the house.

 

Well forecast was for 40s.. but we got snow and 30mph south wind loaded is quick with pine and Ash inside temp 66..

 

Even 99 steps up and offers caution to others when they start doing their "spring dance" by reminding them that some of our biggest storms have been in the second half of March.

Seems those are the ones that hit you hardest because you are lulled into a false sense of security!

 

It looks like 60s the rest of the week here. I will probably open up to air out the house.

 

Switched from red oak to white elm and had a small fire overnight keeping the house at 72°. No fire this morning. House was 73° when returning from work. Only suppose to go down to 54° tonight so may let the NG furnace take over for tonight.... hope it still works....

Will go back to evening/overnight fires with lows in the mid to upper 30s. Not quite ready to give up the relaxing flicker of flames and warmth just yet!

 

I remember that. That was the year I moved back to Wisconsin. I had to wait to get my ford mustang out of storage to drive it home.

 

I have a load of Cherry going in the Liberty, they say we'll hit 29 tonight.

 

Good idea, I'll put some Cherry in for tonight Low 45 °F
No fire today was 62

 

35 F outside right now and I found a lonely split of poplar in my stacks from a few years ago so Im burning that and a stubby piece of pine. I was burning mostly doug fir through the day. I will still do an overnight burn I think.... after all I do have 2600 sq ft to heat. Its been a mild one this year but being in the mountains Ill still be burning some in May Im sure.

 

30 degrees. Clear. Pallet Pete I have Ash AND Pine keeping things toasty.

 

40 OAT again this am, and 70 IAT at 7:30.
Feels a little cool. Picked through the Oak stack in the shed and found a few small splits, so I think I'll light those up.
After yesterday morning's fire at just after 8 am, the house stayed no less than 70 until about 10:30 pm. Nice.
Supposed to hit upper 50s today, so I shouldn't need much heat.

 

It was 31 this morning so we touched off a nice Cherry fire.

 

48 this afternoon! The boiler has not run in a while. Two windows open in house letting some fresh air in. Feels great! The melting/dripping sounds great!
