Global Warming/Climate Change has never been proven....Mr. Gore is making millions off fear ...
Not just Al Gore. Look more deeply into who's pushing it and some of the hair brained proposals coming from Congress and even FEMA.
 
It's a bit nippy here today, seems like thats the norm lately. Got down to 13 last night, up to 40 right now back to 20 tomight. The temperature roller coaster. Fingers crossed I have enough pellets to make it.
 
It was 24 here in GEORGIA this morning!!! I left the stoves run out of pellets so that's it for me! Now just need to drag those mothers out of the fireplaces and clean, clean, clean. ::-)::-)

It's snowing like crazy here. Suppose to get 3 inches by the morning. Still have a foot on the ground.
 
Got to 40 and sunny here today. Spent some time outside in short sleeves dragging off branches that had fallen all winter (willow trees do nothing but shed branches). Beautiful day and the Hastings has been resting with the sunshine and Harman keeping the main floor at 71 degrees.

Good thing I have a bit over a ton in the basement though. Stopped at the local dealer to pick up the last 20 bags of pre-pay and he was completely out. Hadn't had a delivery since last time I was there (2 weeks ago) and even he had none for his own use. He should get a delivery in another week or two. I also stopped at Agway and noticed they were out - at least non were out on the floor by their pellet stove display, so I assume they were out.

Is that north as in north of the bridge or north as in south of the bridge? Reason I ask is I own property south of Traverse City a bit and the snow has left there for the most part......
 
As long as it's sunny out, I am fine with even low 40's for a high. Sunroom heats the house and lets me shut off the stove from ~11AM - 6PM. Brought last 10 bags in from garage just now - 24 bags left, it's going to have to do. With the pellets out of the garage, T-Bucket is free and can be taken out as soon as the weather cooperates. Me thinking positive. ==c
 
I live east of TC a bit. Still snowing here ..
 
Winter?! We didn't have a winter here. It went from fall right to spring! I have the pellet stove shut down and am planting the vegetable garden already.
Burned about 2 1/2 tons this year.

48 degrees North latitude!

We've been getting the daily freeze/thaw cycle in Maine. Driveway gets muddy every day then freezes every night.
Hello mud season.
 
6 tons delivered tomorrow! at least the flies won't be at me for this load in.
 
Hey look, it's snowing again - in Manch-Vegas no less (one of the warmest cities in NH).

I'd take just the 48 degrees - LOL
 
We picked up a quick half inch this morning in northwest jersey.. Possibly another 2 -3" on Tuesday / Tuesday night.. Then a brief warm up to a cold rain on Saturday
 
54 and Sunny. Feels like Summer after what has been going on since January.
 
OK, I'm calling it for our neck of the woods here in SE PA. High of 62 today, 64 tomorrow, and next 10 days looks like nothing below freezing. Down to 2 bags of pellets in two days, with two stoves. Most use has been to keep the family room warmed up in early morning and at night (coldest room in house). No fire in office stove for several days, with electric heaters barely humming. Heat pump handling most needs for rest of house. Finally, SPRING! Now to switch over to lawn maintenance and allergy meds. Final major stove cleanings next month sometime, when I can completely shut 'em down 'til next year. And the hunt for good, cheap pellets begins...
 
la la la It's beginning to look a lot like........????????? 2 inches of snow this morning. ==c
 
it was 76 two days ago. I got home last night at 2:30 am and I was 19. I didnt have a fire goin. Fired her up, flipped the electric blanket to "hi" and crawled in bed. Nice and toasty this morning. I sure thought I was done burning. Its supposed to be in the 40's all week. Weird weather.

Ah yes, that 14% wet corn......
 
Winter will be over here when the June full moon comes through here in Maine and we can plant, lookin like good odds for snow on Memorial day this year. We still have waist deep snow in the backyard and another 4-8 today, it is only the first week of April ya know. 60f yesterday and in the mid 20s today gotta love it.
 
Is Maine in the United States?

In the past 5 years, no hunting involved.

Wait for the TSC flyer to arrive with the pre-buy price per ton, go put a deposit 0n 5 tons, pickop and pay for on October, load in barn, all is good. This year it will be 3 maximum tons and corn to suit.
 
Ha ha. If you guys think you have it bad...think of me (pic was taken 15 minutes ago...4 inches on the ground + everything we have left to melt):
