    It is currently 0° here. When I woke up it was -2, then it went down to -5, now it is moving in a more positive direction. Suppose to go all the way to 10° today! o_O

    We are already up to 11 degrees, started out at -4 degrees. Set the all time low temperature for march the 3rd this morning. The old one was -1 in 1960. Loaded up with 3 splits of Oak and 7 splits of hedge.

    We have some nice Sugar Maple we'll throw at these temps, it's almost over so I won't complain.

    The sun is strong so the end is near, we'll just keep feeding the stove.

    The wood inventory is down but we still have plenty of seasoned wood ready if Mother Nature wants to go a few more rounds.

    4:38 Am it was -11 F here, feels like -24.

    5:16: -11 F, Feels like -26. Can't wait for the sun to rise. Supposed to be cloudy with some flurries, so not much solar gain, but at least the temps should stop falling. Our low was supposed to be -2.

    These temps are challenging re wood supply.

    Eagerly await the middle of the month when temps are supposed to approach normal...we'll see.

    Right at -8 on the back porch this morning. The Wood Gun is chewing up more Ash. Glad I had a lot of wood put up for the year!

    Went down to 3° overnight. Used straight red oak. Got 5 good hours of heat. Still have to keep reloading around 3am.

    5 degrees this morning, loaded up with Sugar & Cherry.

    Tonight we start bringing in some Cherry, this is the last rack we planned on burning this year.

    Before Sunday we'll cover another 1.22 cord of wood, .61 of next years shoulder season and .61 of some dead elm I cut last year.

    It looks like the cold will stay in the Northeast until that last week of March.
