I don't know how cold some of ya'll be getting these days, but up here in New Brunswick (just north of Maine) we'll be seeing -29 ° C (-20.2°F) tonight. I'm hoping this nice load of dry yellow birch will keep me cruising at 22°C until 6:00 tomorrow morning, without the need for any heat pump backup!

Wow. Only 14 here, which is not as cold as the 10 or so earlier, but it's cold for here.

I'll be loading up the stove with red oak later tonight.

Boy's oh boy's, that's some serious cold! BAM!!! I hope you're cooking with yellow birch rather than the white stuff??? But then again, I shouldn't be a wood snob... the bottom line is, you burn what you've got to burn, and that's all I gotta say about that. 😊

You guys can keep it for a change. We had -30 to -40 between Christmas and New Years, even one day at -44.

Normally I like winter, but this year spring can't come soon enough.

Um sorry, I don't think I want anything to do with -30's to -40's. I don't think I could handle that kind of Christmas present! You must take it back! But I agree with you: come on Spring! Hurry, please...
