    Looks like it will miss the lake area by 50 - 100 miles.

    HOWEVER

    The snow blower is gassed & ready, couple hundred pounds of pellets are within easy reach, backup power is on alert, and we are mentally prepared.

    Thought I'd bump this back up since we'll be in negative temps this weekend. I have a couple bags lined up of PTL softies and then will probably roast some LaCrete after that.....only if I have too, don't want to waste them :D

    Absolutely.
    They don't do you any good laying on the floor.........
    It was 1° here this morning, and it's going to be colder next couple of days...
    What the heck would we be waiting for to burn your best stuff??

    It was cold enough here for me to touch the stove off in the shop.
    I have stuff in there I do not want to see freeze..
    Haven't done it but a couple of times this season..
    It was 30 in there yesterday... dumped some DF's in it yesterday pm,
    this morning it was 60° in there... Nice!!
    There are two cars in there... that is a lot of mass to bring up to temp...

    Turned the ThermGuard on yesterday to run the FHW every 6 hours to keep the pipes in the garage from freezing.

    Loaded DF's in the Cellar Dweller and Vermont's into the main floor stove. None of that stuff will hit the fire until sometime tomorrow. Looks like I will have timed it just about right as Sunday morning and Monday Morning are slated to be the cold ones.

    EasyBlaze SYP in the hopper till Monday at least.
    i have a hydro-air heat ex-changer in the attic for upstairs zone of the oil burner. it hasn't run this winter at all. but it has water in it, which has concerns me when burning pellets. i insulated the sh$% out of it and kept the plumbing super short but i still woke up this morning with a little worry in my head. the coil lies in the duct work and thus is warmed by the heat from below and i had the HVAC guy install the 40 degree no freeze fix that is supposed to start the circulater and open the zone valve. BUT it has not been tested. sooo i worry a bit. I set a hold of 64 degrees on it, and might up that to 65 for Sat night just to circulate the water in the system a couple of times. I'll sleep better. Oh, and i closed the automatic water feed to the system so if something bursts, it will not continue to pump water into the house....
