Going to be in the mid 30s here tonight and tomorrow night with a chance of snow flurries tonight. Not really surprised considering the winter we had. Just might get to play with fire and the stove one more time.

Yeah, I'm south of you and temps are supposed to get in the low 30's tonight and tomorrow night. Not worried about snow here, although after 3 weeks of rain it would almost be a welcome change.

I've got the stove going now. I can't remember burning in mid May before now.
 
I will be burning tomorrow! Can't wait!
 
Had a fire going last couple of nights supposed to see mid thirties tonight. Had cold and rain all day coming home to a fire felt great. Just sick of this cold especially in the middle of May.
 
But I just got home and started a fire. 43 and raining outside and 60 in the house.
May 15 and on the 14th I fired up the King Ultra,I can never remember having to do this in my lifetime.Burning two year old cherry on setting #1 house a comfy 73. Right now Sunday the 15th snowing unbelievable looks like January.

Chilly here... Mid 50's.
Almost built a small fire last night. May build one tonight if the house stays chilly.
 
Our warm streak ended yesterday. It's 53F right now. Excited electrons brought the house up to 70F quickly.
 
37 here this morning. Built a quick fire in the Jotul with some pine.
 
Fire going here . . . wife said they're talking about snow flurries in the upper elevations . . . nowhere near that cold here thankfully.
 
Fire going here. 40F out.

Cool overcast day here. Forecast to be 32 or lower overnight. Put fire on a few hours ago and will likely stay on all night. Can't believe it's May 15th.
 
Fired off the PE, going down to 35 ish here in the hollow tonight, and the next 2 nights.

I get to empty the superbly seasoned firewood in the indoor ring, move the ring, move the rug underneath, sweep, and then lock & reload for next year. I've got some semi seasoned out by the back door, will bring that inside and let it bask in the glow of the AC during the summer ;)
 
Still firing the NC30 although not 24/7, temp swings high 30's to maybe high 60,s over 24 hr time spans, with some frost warnings. Mostly firing to drive off dampness and chill inside in morning. This week high peak will be today,might hit 70- downhill from there with avg high in the mid 50's and various showers floating through. Beats the heck out of 98% humidity and 80deg of a few years back- least wise in my pocket book anyway.
 
Still building a fire nightly here. Getting into the low 30s at night which is pretty normal for this time of year, just enough to need some heat. Light snow the last 2 days.
 
Cold and rainy for 18 days now. I just checked and this is the first May without one 80 degree day so far here since 1935.
 
Just the opposite here, we've already broken the most number of days over 80F between 1/1 and 5/31. The rest of the month looks more normal with highs in the 60s.
