    Warming up today, suppose to hit 30. Gonna be a good day to get the mutts out in the woods, they've been patient the last week with cold temperatures and busy schedules. Just burning some red maple and ash. Hanging out with the boy, drinking coffee letting mom sleep in, boy was up every couple hours last night.

    28° and locust in the box keeping the chill at bay. We got a bit of snow last night which is slowing down the splitting a bit as I have to shovel off the porch before I start.

    30 at the workshop before the nc-30 warmed it up to 60. Then I left.

    3" of fluffy white stuff-really easy to shovel!

    18* and I tossed in a few pieces of ash, to keep the temps up until I fill it up with beech in a bit. I got about a half a cord of rounds split today and I am feeling it now.

    19* and I just stoked the beast with beech and ash. It's supposed to warm up to 33* that should save some wood.
