21 at 6 this morning 26 now Another sunny beautiful day. Snowcast held off and the clouds scheduled for today are a no show. Yard and shop work while the clock ticks down to GO TIME for our busy season. Coak a Coala in the furnace!
We had 10 this morning, that load of Ironwood and Beech did the trick, we have some Cherry going at the moment.
We got a snow storm moving in tonight and some colder temps so burning some maple now and got some hickory to burn for overnight......
50s here, and still burning (mostly Doug Fir). Fire in the AM in the big stove and one in the PM in the small stove. Hard to break the habit, and it just don't feel right without them. Need that fix. We'll be doing this more or less through April.
Mixed snow/rain this afternoon....house finally hit about 65F this morning... Mix if punky pecan, punky shag, punky BL. House back in '70's.
I said the same thing to the wife this morning! Man it's cold in here, and it was 64 so the wood stove was back in action! 5 hours later we had the living room window open, glad to be back to normal in here!
I just loaded up with Ironwood and some Beech, it should be nice and toasty in the morning. They have us heading to 18 tonight.
Low 20's this a.m. 4 splits of red oak chased the chill away. It snailed for awhile last night. (Snow & hail) and the winds picked up. Cool here until Wednesdays warm-up.
Maple & Hickory uglies after work to warm things up. Temps tried to hit the 40's and with the heavy wind, never did. Getting down to the last 2 pucks of super cedars, hoping to stretch em out until next season.
Well I went to sleep and didn't reload the stove last night woke up to 59 degrees 75 in here now though, 37 out now burning Ash Elm and Cherry
32 now The forecast here for the last 5 days has been overcast and rain. Its been sunny blue skies every day. Yesterday afternoon it spit a few flakes ,,,, without a cloud in the sky. With N and E winds we get beautiful weather. From the W and S overcast and moisture off the lake. Ill take weather like weve had the last 5 days every day . Oak beech and coal. Furnace back puffed a little this morning. About time for another cleaning.
10 degrees yesterday AM, a nice welcome to Spring. Winter weather advisory for Wednesday-Thursday. Looks like we are right in the center of the storm, where the forecast is for up to 20 cm of heavy snow Wednesday, followed by 3/4 of an inch of ice pellets and freezing rain on Thursday. Of course, the instrument panel on my vehicle picked last week to die, so the car is in for service 40 miles away, and I am supposed to pick it up Wednesday or Thursday. If we get the weather we have forecast, and IF they are open Good Friday, and IF we don't lose power again, I guess I'll be able to get the car Friday. No vehicle will force me to get some work done here, but will certainly impact my Easter.
It got down to 20 last night and the sun is brightly shining at the moment. May get 2" today as we are on the far north remote edge of a storm that will hit the green bay area with 8-14". Bad thing for them is that they pull the plows and wait for the storm to pass adding to only complicate the whole process.
Winter storm watch turned into a warning, and the forecast snow amounts have fluctuated quite a bit. They're now saying anywhere from 1-2' from this afternoon through tomorrow.......until it changes. Anyway, about 30 this am, so I put 4 medium/small splits of Maple in the 30, and we're back to about 72 in here. Should be warming starting Fri., so the snow shouldn't hang around too long.
