Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

-18*F here this morning. Loaded up OWB yesterday at 2:30pm with Hard Maple. It only lasted 18hrs just loaded with Ash and Poplar to get thru till this evening.

My dog stuck her nose out the door then turned and ran back into the house.

 

Apparently we hit -24 overnight according to the thermometer, it was -22 just before daylight. Cold enough for me to be sitting here on the 'puter at 9:30 am on a sunny beautiful day.

 

1f, burning Locust, both flavors

 

A big fat 0 here in the city with no pity! Da Bills are in the playoffs!!!

 

-9 out now. Lake Michigan is keeping us warmer than others in this state.

Only 1 dog went outside, but we call him a baby polar bear. The older dog said hellz no! and has not gone out. I don't blame him.

 

Dave I bet your normal cold feels a bunch colder than the thermometer says with all that water around you!

 

-9* this morning and windy. The stove did well with a load of hickory and oak. I loaded up with more of the same but threw a big cherry split in as well. We are pushing the old smoke dragon hard for heat. It looks like we have another week of below zero weather.

 

2 here. Just went out and dig into the primo stash, white oak and apple. Hopefully it’ll last a little longer, the elm and red maple wasn’t cutting it. Dags in and out in under a minute, no play, no sniffing, nothing but laying in front of the fire.

 

10 and snowing like a winter monsoon.
Shut the shoulder stove down yesterday, left open the mud room door and fired the Woodchuck. It got up over 90 in here with both going even as one was winding down and the Woodchuck was gearing up and heating up from 36* the mud room and furnace room loaded with 1.5 cord of cold wood. No more hauling wood into the house,,,,,, just turn around and grab from the stack to load the furnace.easy peasey ! Most of the wood stack in furnace room now is hard maple , oak and beech. Gonna be easy living for 4-6 weeks till a refill is needed. Will haul a few buckets of coal up from bin this afternoon.

 

Apparently the extreme cold warning has ended in my neck of the woods. But it's still -27 C feels -36 C, or -16 F feels -33 F. Temps are supposed to be nicer, but the wind is picking up now, just can't win

 

WOW! And I thought 1 degree with a real feel of -15 is cold.Maple and Black locust in the enerzone.

 

The warm up has begun here. It was -33c yesterday and this morning it was -17c. Ill take it! If I had to pick my temperature it would be about -10c/14f but I guess mother nature will give me what I get. I just loaded the stove with lodgepole pine. I have a very sleepy household. Happy New years!!

 

I think we're up to 10F now. I'm sitting comfortably in shorts and a tee shirt. I took my daughter down to the pond to walk on the ice a few hours ago. The walk down the street wasn't too bad, but as soon as we rounded the corner of the.last house the wind hit us. Holy crap was that miserable! It took longer to get her dressed than we spent on the ice.

 

I think tomorrow we should see much better temps in the -12 C/-24 C overnight according to the weather guessers.

Just gonna finish drowning my sorrows with venison and hashbrowns in mushroom soup.

 

We are supposed to be above zero tomorrow....close to 10 is the forecast temp!

 

i went out to shed and got the stove lit while it is slowly warming up i got the kerosene heater lit as well its 29 in here and it is 17 outside burning poplar and pine.
its around 70-71 in the house but the wind has been blowing hard all day. plan on working on some saws in the shed im tired of setting around the house.

 

yippee.
