    About 8 on the back porch this morning. I just loaded the boiler up with Ash, Pine, and what looked like a split of Oak. We received about 2" of snow last night I guess.

    Temps around freezing this morning and headed to close to 40F. Forecast for the coming week has highs in the upper 30's to lower 40's. We may get rid of most of the few inches we have left on the ground. Roads are in great condition.
    Burning a mixture of elm and cherry with a few pieces of oak thrown in.

    Weve snapped out of the cold and into mild air! Its -2c under clear skies. The stove is loaded with lodgepole pine. I think I might overheat the house and open the windows to get some fresh air in here. What a beautiful Saturday!

    Good morning friends in all things wood. 17 * here and doing blizzard preps. The winds from this nor'easter are expected to be 45 mph in southern NH. Battening down the hatches, I will have to suspend burning when the wind really gets going as I get problems with down drafts during nor' easters that puff smoke back into the living room. So we will warm up the house as much as possible before the big wind. Burning hard Maple now.:yes: I do enjoy a good blizzard!

    Current temp on this calm morning 4°F headed up to 26°F today with a Noreaster on the horizon. Loaded the oakleaf with maple birch and ash, and is cruising along nicely. :)

    This will be your first big New England storm won't it Brian? If so, I hope it lives up to the hype. Enjoying the north woods in the winter yet?:thumbs:

    First big one yes, but this last one, although not incredibly big snows, craziest winds I've seen. Ice chunks being blown from different places into the windows, breaking flood lights, incredible. The wind direction was different, blowing through the valley and right up from there up to the house. All these mini snows, anywhere from 2- 4" per night add up quick. I plowed 3x this week. Love it!


    I'll take it up a notch, just boxers, sitting right on the snow bank. :cool:

    After our evening out and the undecorating was complete at the hall, we were greeted to rain/drizzle outside for the ride home. It had just started and the temps were just barely above freezing (what?) so the drive home was safe. Ended up with 1 inch of new snow since then.
