Very Cold Here Today!

I got awake at 3:30 AM and glanced at the Heat Pump Thermostat.....

-13

I had the Castile running too.

Sending it east, had enough. -18 plus a good wind this morning. The good news is it warmed up to 2 above for a bit this afternoon. The PC45 has been cranking through 4+ pounds an hour but it keeps it 74* in the house. We have a cat but she wouldn't dare sleep on top of stove unless we put down butter first.

Turn that ECO-65 up......it loves to eat pellets on High speed if you noticed?

We've recently encountered a terrible ice storm that knocked out power to some for over a week. Lots of ice, sleet, and snow has fallen in the last two weeks. We've endured temps of -16 with 30mph winds and higher gusts. This most recent storm that has involved 185 million of us has not affected us to a great extent. This a.m. the temp was about -4. Today the temp got up to 4, but with no wind. Nice day in the north country. I am sad that so many have had to endure much worse in the way of weather.

Last night it was 0 outside and 76 inside. This morning -13 very windy and 76 near the stove and 69 in the rest of the house. The insert is cranking and the geothermal is also cranking.

Right now it is -2 with lots of wind and it is still 76 in here

Water vapor, just make sure there's no hint of black in it. That would mean it's dirty and needs a cleaning.

I'm going to bet on lack of an OAK.

-12F windchill -36F Keeping 72F inside but running on 4 instead of 3 to keep up, but
when the wind calmed down it did a shutdown (no demand for 45 minutes).

Chill...I meant cheers

It actually shuts down after 30 minutes, I timed it...the manual is wrong.

You'd bet wrong. Get that on a regular basis when the temps hit real low.

It felt almost balmy here this afternoon -8F with low of -17F (-31 windchill) tonight... far better than the -40F we hit near New Years (without windchill) and the -20s or -30s we've had for most of the last 3 or 4 weeks. Tomorrow's warmer

We've had a couple of the cats singe tail fur this week on the door glass. We keep them off the top just in case ...

In the 30's today,been shutting off stove when I go to work the last few days(I use mine like a wood stove when not cold).

I bow to your superior experience on this. We never get even close to that in temps. My theory on the water vapor was exhausting of moister air from inside house b/c it was used for combustion rather than outside air.

Hope it warms a bit for you folks. We're supposed to hit almost 60 F here in a few days! Crazy, crazy weather... Was -2 F a few mornings back, and that's much colder than our normal lows.

Just got to rub our noses in those temps We're up to 21F/-6 C ... Heat wave
