    Moisture - it's about -5 C.
    I've been told it's potentially dangerous, so I keep using the same picture.
    My favorite picture!:popcorn:

    The fire below!

    56* here right now, 84% humidity.

    Probably could make a fire but I figured I'd be tough to get it going. Turned on the kitchen stove for a bit instead.

    Yard has 1"+ standing water... Been pouring for since last night. Needed the rain so I'm not complaining.

    Wood dries well at 95 at least. If it doesn't spontaneously combust into flames. :loco: :crazy:

    This is all I can post in response to those still burning.

    And before someone asks , no this is not the town I live in, but the town my office is in 30 mins away. Close enough. I think my home forecast was 1degree lower? No sure how places so close with similar elevations consistently can vary but they seem to?

    There's probably venomous snakes slithering around too. I'd hide in the house till fall comes.

    Its just a thing you live with. Still have to work in it. Cut grass wrench on my stuff run in the afternoons for exercise.

    Snakes got those covered too. Here is a timber rattler I ran over a few weeks ago while Bush hogging my farm. No I did not see it till the next pass. Wasnt but maybe 4-5 ft but was as thick as my wrist/lower forearm. IMG_20140613_181024_459.jpg

    Ugh! I know snakes have their place, but I just cannot stand the sight of them. Makes the hair on my neck stand up!

    I can warm the house up with fire wood when needed.
    Cooling it cost $$ but I don't have/need AC.
    No snakes here.
    Can go outside & not melt, & if cool, wear a long sleeve shirt.
    19 hours of sun.

    SC a good place to be in winter :)
    10 million ducks & geese can't be wrong, the leave Alaska before winter . !
