    "Thunder snow" Lol...I have heard that several times throughout my life but if I ever reacted like Jim Cantori did that time on TV I am sure someone would off smacked me and would be told not to act foolish...:)

    Mid 20s here. Just loaded up with the same stuff I loaded the boiler with this morning: some nasty maple that was hip high laying on the ground - it took every inch of the 20" bar on my 362 cutting from either side. Towed my splitter to the property and this thing stopped it twice. Never seen a more gnarly wood than this thing had in its butt logs.. Never met a heavier maple, either. What a back breaker! I remember telling my daughter as she ran the hydro lever that I would love it when this bastard was set to burn after all the grief we went through to get it.. :)

    Loaded the stove at 630 this morning and still had a huge coal bed when I opened it up (idling) at 930pm.

    Since we never had a fire until this afternoon, tonight I have the pellet stove set on 76 and the liberty loaded with 4 splits of hard maple and 4 splits of cherry.

    It's 25 out with the temp trending up, the temp inside the house is 70 but it feels like a cool 70.

    35F here with a slight wind. No real snow or cold predicted as of now. Cloudy & 30's. Typical west MI weather for December. Got the gravel parking area graded earlier after plowing while a bit soft. Running a mix of oak & elm on a slow burn. 73F inside. Kinda boring weather, but easy to heat in. Off to bed. You folks in that storm path be careful!

    We had a little snow storm pass over today but the snow never hit the ground.
    Temperature rising sense 9 p.m. 37 now, Wind Speed S 14 G 24 mph, burnin boxelder with a little ash.
    No snow on the ground, doesn't look pretty but I like it. Just cold enough so it's not muddy by the stacks.
    Low tonight 31

    Well Seasoned
    Have fun playing in the snow, :Dhope everything turns out okay:)

    High 20s for the overnight tonight. Don't know what's in The One Who Consumes. Better half built the overnight fire, and she made a real nice one too!

    We had as low as minus 17F. I was shoving lots of pine in the HS heritage but it kept up.

    Thunder snow is pretty cool to see.

    Although I never acted like Jim cantori when I've seen it. It's cool and all, but I've seen it a few times and it seems to happen more often than I recall growing up.

    Elm, ironwood and beech in the quadrafire. 32 out but a real feel of 21.

    70 in the house.

    Yes, that storm missed us, you fine folks in New England stay safe and hopefully nobody loses power.

    Edit, nobody , I hope you don't lose power either. Lol

    25 with 22mph winds now. 30 mph on the way. (Hope it hurries!) And 6" to 10" predicted for this round.

    Feels like 5 now; when I punch in, it'll feel like anything but above zero!!!
