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

Getting cold now. Down to 4 degrees on my back porch at 4:20pm. Suppose to go down to -14 tonight with a possible windchill of -30!

Time to bring in some extra wood, AGAIN. The boiler was just cleaned, and the pellet stove at the camp as well.

This is turning out to be a pretty serious winter.

 

high 30's over the weekend, 65 right now, lol. don't think i'll burn tonight.

 

The temps are turning negative, the next load the Liberty will get, BEECH!

About 6:00 pm the pellet stove will be turned on for the night.

 

Larger Ash splits geared up for tonight. They are just chompin at the bit to get in there! And a pile of smaller stuff for burning during the next few daytime stretches.

 

Got some more 20 year old hedge rounds along with some white oak that has been cut for almost ten years. Keep looking around and finding more that has been cut down for several years. Hedge is waste from fence post cutting from years past. Quite a bit of it got too big to make good posts. Oak is tops from logging I had done some years ago. Should have good wood for a few years.

 

Is that pile of ash all for one load Gas ? That's 2 days worth for me.

 

Going down in the teens then single digits then below zero for the rest of the week. Burn Baby Burn !!!!!! This is what we were talkin bout in October man.

 

Regular temps of -13 at the moment, the Liberty is loaded with Beech & Sugar Maple and the Pellet Stove is going in the other corner.

They have us going down to -18 with a wind chill of -32, I think we'll get colder.

The temps are still dropping, - 14.1

 

-15 here, if my thermometer is correct. Local news says wind chill makes it feel like -22 Suppose to be colder tonight. Wife and kids are okay with it this morning. Schools are all delayed 2 hours. Probably going to be tuff getting some of the buses going.

 

The boiler was filled with those bigger Ash splits last night at 9:30. I was up at 4:45ish and the boiler was completely empty.

 

27 here at the moment, but the temperature is supposed to fall to single digits by this time tomorrow. Along with snow all afternoon and night. I'm burning one piece of red maple on a big bed of ash coals this morning, that will put out a little heat. What I really need is to get my insert burnt down and shoveled out this afternoon. Then it'll be back to full time ash burning, because that is what I was stacking when I stacked the row I'm burning.

 

You'll melt your stove.

 

13 with a wind chill of -4. Teens for highs next 3 days, lows in single digits to negative. Ash when I'm home to load. Black Locust for loads before leaving for work. Got a weeks worth of it in my garage, 2 yr seasoned.

 

Thank God for automatic damper controls!

 

Amen to that. I burn that old hedge and it can get carried away.

 

I emptied the last wood from the shed last night, except for a tiny bit of tulip poplar and cottonwood that I'll save for the stove in the shop. I'm building a new shed this spring/summer so I intentionally didn't fill the old shed this fall.

I'm out of the "good stuff" for this year...all the hedge and black locust are gone (I have more for the year after next though). I'm going to be stuck burning oak for the next two years.

I threw about a 1/3 cord into the basement and loaded the trailer with another 1/3 cord and parked it in the shop. I'm hoping those two loads will get me through the first week of Feb. All oak.

Temps are sharply colder today and the wind is blowing like crazy...couple inches of snow on the ground. Was 40 yesterday afternoon...sitting at 13 right now...our high for the day. Supposed to get below 0 in a couple days.

 

The regular temps this morning back in the woods, -24 on the Radio Shack special, tonight with the wind chill, -35.

 

Yikes. Says -10 on my back porch right now. I went for a quick walk down by the dam while one child was in dancing. It was a quick walk, there was some wind, and any little breeze was brutal. I was walking very fast. The water over the dam was creating it's own fog and mist. I have a couple of pics I will post later.

 

here in south pa, near the maryland line, 6 inches plus of new snow, maybe a little more but it's so windy it's hard to tell, 14 degrees, to go down to 0, with a stiff breeze, and drifting snow. We need some snow shovelin' smilies.

I'm burnin' walnut in the daytime, all oak at night. Our home is laid out on one floor and the master bedroom/bath don't get much woodheat, we'll be running the heat pump back there, spend a bit of $$$ on electric. If it's 25 degrees or more it ain't bad back there, but when the wind howls and the temps are 0, that's a different story.
