    It was 8 when we had coffee but it has dropped to 2 degrees with some wind. Tonight AccuWeather is calling for -15, I'm not sure what the windchill will be but we'll burn both wood & pellet stoves tonight.

    Holy crap it's chilly out. 0 degrees in the middle of the afternoon here. A fairly good breeze as well. The real feel has to be -10 at least. Maple and Ash in the boiler.

    I'm a few days off but in the 60's here Wednesday morning :cool: started dropping and the wind kicked up blowing 40 mph with gusts over 60mph had an official one clocked at 63! I believe it because I was out in it the whole time! :hair:By Thursday morning we were around 20 with snow and a stiff breeze which eventually died down. Friday never broke 15 and either sun was out or it was a blizzard with winds to 30 up and down all day! :shiver: Today the suns bright with a little breeze started at 9 and havent got past 15! So what else is there to do? Reload some ammo and burn ash maple and cherry!! At 71 inside !:fire:

    Getting down to 11F here tonight. Stove is getting oak at fill up.

    Just got off the phone with my brother. He's hauling a locomotive engine out to Morrill, NE. He said it's 71° out in Kearney. I didn't believe him till I checked my phone.

    The wind is what really drives the wood consumption for us with this old perforated railroad builder's home we have. Thankful as can be for the marginal insulation the previous owners installed. Without it and the relatively tight vinyl siding and windows, I'd hate to imagine how many more cord we'd be burning!

    Currently 56°F in St. Louis. I have the sliding door open with a nice cool breeze blowing in for some fresh air. Burning some silver maple for a little warmth in the fireplace, and smoking a pork butt on the back deck with some hickory. Very relaxing right now.
