    Very cold start to the day with temps at the freezing mark. Took while for it to warm up but made it to the mid 60's with a good wind and plenty of sun to help it along.
    Tomorrow should be same temps but wet all day long.

    They say a low of 35 tonight so we have another Cherry fire going tonight. We have seven more splits inside so hopefully those will be our last fire.

    It's been raining out since the middle of today so we'll do another overnight fire tonight which will be the last of the wood we have inside.

    80s = melting weather!

    We are currently at freezing with rain. Probably lose power today once it turns over to ice.....

    Had a pine fire early AM yesterday and with all the rain and chill started back up burning some maple and some white birch from about mid-afternoon on.
    Pine and maple fire this morning. Reloaded despite being a little bit warmer than yesterday.
    Just one milk crate of pine left in the house, hoping this is it and won't be reloading any hardwood.
    It's supposedly 58ºF outside but it sure doesn't feel it.
