" serious worse than 2015 word is, oysters survive 32F, but can not be moved in that state this storm is going to crush the ice.. disaster for oyster farms best I can tell." storm he mentions will be big news in nova scotia, maybe new england this week.
you want local new england oysters , get if you can!!

 

No more Maine shrimp, now an oyster disaster, bummer!

 

That's crazy cold...! I assume the stove won't keep up in those temps?

I think the coldest temps I ever experienced was 27 below a long time ago.

 

can't bring myself to the like button, we need a bad button. that aside, feel sorry for the fisherman and the growers, some will lose their income. tough break.

 

14 degrees with 20mph wind ... little brisk here in wny ... National Greed just asked everyone to turn down the thermostat 5 degrees because of “supply” difficulties ... wtf they’ve been fracking like mad for years to the point of some people being able to light the water coming out of the faucet and now they want people to turn down the gas during historical cold ? They are f..... over there the way they run ! Oh well - time to load up the stove with some red-oak and shagbark hickory !!!

 

currently melting in the shed i filled the stove with seasoned locust and it almost 78 in here and the temp is dropping like a rock outside heading to a low of 2 tonight it's 13 right now.

 

I am plowing threw the wood. My basement is getting really cold. I think I my have to let the furnace warm it up. Water pipes down there.Nice up here tho......

 

-2 now on our way to -14. Hedge at extra full chooch.

 

i might throw a piece of slab coal in the stove to get the temp up in the house.

 

Come on WeldrDave , admit it, you miss being in Wisconsin in the winter. This weather really gives one an excellent reason to burn wood

 

It was -2.6F this morning when I walked my pups, we made it to 10F today. It's supposed to stay above zero tonight which will be nice. Been burning a lot, went to TSC today and picked up some of these RedStone compressed bricks to try. I've got 4 cords left, so I won't run short, just figured I'd give them a try as I'd never heard of them before finding FHC. These are the smaller blocks, 6 to a package. My eldest is up in Hamburg, NY southwest of Buffalo and getting pounded with snow. Not quite as bad as Erie, Pa., but still no fun.

 

71ºF inside
Got up late and the stove was cold. Back room ( heat set to 55º) was 57ºF - took almost all day to get back up to 68º

burning White oak

 

Hi Scout24 ! Let us know how those TSC bricks work ... was always curious at the length of burn time compared to seasoned hardwood ... thanks !

 

Here is what is left of the Ash and Poplar I put on this morning.
Just loaded for the night with Ash.
Good till tomorrow

 

-5 now with a feel of -23. But feels a bit cooler than that for some reason!

Fired up the OWB with a nice fat chunk of maple...let her chew on that overnight!
Didn't need any lights outside as the moon is so bright and the skies have no clouds in them....but, we'll get colder because of the no cloud cover.
