    We had 33 this morning with the rain (real wet out) changed to snow when the temp hit 32, we've received about three inches of the white stuff.

    We've been burning shoulder season wood but after supper, we'll switch to some better hardwood since we might hit 17 for a low.

    I just lit her off with trash trees... Tree of Heaven, literally... But I have a stove full of Black Walnut splits on the hearth for the all night load that i'll pack in around 8-8:30... A couple walnut uglies for between now and then.

    Last night it was 20 below @ 10 pm here. By morning it had clouded up and was 5 below. Now its been snowing since 10 am and it's 1 above.
    I read guys saying they are burning shoulder wood, What is shoulder wood ????
    Wood that you hand mucked out of the brush on your shoulders ???

    Did you get any higher winds today? We didn't get much but I'm wondering if Gasifier received them.

    Lesser woods used for warmer outside temps, late fall and early spring temps. Not the good true hardwoods used for the heart of winter.

    Yes, very very gusty. Some smaller pines down. I still need to raise my weather station another 15 ft. Some gusts around 50mph.

    Are you getting lake effect snow?

    It's 25 tonight and heading to 17 or 18, we have some dead elm going in the heater.

    It's 77 in the basement and 71 up here. I said that we wouldn't be bringing in anymore pine but looking at the forecast, we'll push in another two loads........maybe more.

    Ive thought the same thing. The colder climates could do with some of that higher btu wood but somehow you make do! You at least have some birch right? I have a little bit here but mostly a close equivalent larch at 19 mbtus which is my longer burn time wood. Theres no oak to be found anywhere near here!

    Sitting at -10 c feels -17 c, or 15 f feels 1 f. Supposed to see upwards of 25-30 mph wind gusts by morning, so I'm gonna freeze my sack off looking for deer if I morning hunt.

    Coming off a n/s burn of a few stubby rounds of poplar
