    Went down 1 more degree to -26C (about -15 F). That's Portland's official temperature. I'm generally about 2 degrees colder. Just got back from walking the dog, and it is COLD.

    Only minus 7c = 19f in the shade right now sherwood but just found out about some more fun coming later :confused:

    KINGSTON - Environment Canada has issued a snow squall watch for Kingston and area:
    Snow squalls possible this afternoon into this evening.
    A snow squall band is developing over Western Lake Ontario. With the southwesterly winds increasing this afternoon, snow squalls are possible from Trenton area and thorugh Picton-Sandbanks Park this afternoon into this evening. The snow bands could move into Kingston and Cobourg area this evening. Local snowfall amounts of up to 15 cm in heavy snow bands are possible. In addition, reduced visibilities in snow and blowing snow may cause hazardous travel conditions.

    They werent calling for this when i left for town earlier :whistle:

    Gonna have to find somewhere else to plow the snow :cool:

    I don't know how that smiley got there, and don't know how to remove it.

    My snow pile looks about like yours.

    Heading toward zero tonight with windchill at -10º.....have some walnut and cherry in the stove. Cat was up around 1750º when I got back home from a hair cut, closed the air almost off and had one of the best secondary light shows I've ever seen from this stove yet.

    I think we get below 10 tonight, it's been AO (all oak) for about two months now, I'm stocked with oak for the next 3 years, I save it for the meat of winter and use the lighter stuff before and after.

    It's 14 degrees this morning, we have some Cherry,Beech and some Sugar Maple going in the Liberty.

    We're burning some of next years better hardwood, I'm thinking we'll switch back to Cherry near the end of the month.
