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

Hang in there. We've been through this before. Its all short lived now!

 

I'm right there with ya Dennis. Mid 30's for highs this week with a rain snow mix YUCK! Still burning quality wood to keep the temps up with all the wind. I'm tired of it too. Oh well. Ash & Elm in the cooker.

 

37° and expecting 3-5” snow starting at 2am.

 

Two pretty days in a row. Sun went down today, the temperature dropped ten degrees in no time. Snowflakes are showing.
High of 50 tomorrow.
I hunkered down to watch the women's NCAA championship game. Notre Dame pulled off another last second three point shot, as they did to knock out UConn to get there. South Bend is happy, and down here the Indiana U Women won the NIT yesterday.

Every time the weather gets nasty like this, and i have loaded the boiler for its overnight, I look outside, have another sip of Woodford, and bwahaaa ha ha! like an evil scientist. Take that, REMC

 

Bright moon once again. Felt like -9 yesterday morning, feels like 5 this morning. Temps are 13 now and yesterday morning were 7.

Never warmed up above 30 yesterday, but the radiant melted snow. Today, more snow on the way.

 

Were 54f right now. House was chilly last night so I loaded another small load into the stove, set for a slow burn last night.

 

30°f with 3” of snow and still snowing.

 

We had close to 60 degrees yesterday and this morning there is about 2" of snow
. Crazy

 

A chilly 20F this morning. Maple in the boiler. I’ll bring in some more firewood today sometime.

 

Keep that fire going and get that caffeine in!

 

We're at 23 and have 2" of snow. We have a mix of ash, sycamore and cherry in stove. We're staying warm!!

Another brisk morning. Sitting at -20 C feels -25 C, or -4 F feels -13 F.

 

We wound up with almost 6” north of you. And it’s still snowing with 39° temp.

 

Hunker down!


After you buy bread and milk!

 

Another "roller-coaster" week here....mid 50's yesterday, about an inch of snow over night. Supposed to be 70 tomorrow
Currently 40F outside and 73F inside...burning some cherry

 

Barring an ambience fire, I'm done for the season. Time to let the thermal mass do its thing for a while. I had 66 in the living room earlier in the weekend, but with the warmer temperatures pulling less heat out of the house, I'm up to 70 last time I checked. With April's ups and downs the mass should keep me just around 70 until May whatever the diurnal variation is. Then it is watching the weather and strategic opening up the place at night to cool things down until sometime in June. Then it is A/C for the summer and reverse the process in early September- opening at night when I can to lose heat, generally closed for October, closed for November, and we're back to fire season.
