Kinda Depressing

[jrsdws]

We've had the most amazing weather here in Central Illinois this week with daytime highs reaching the low 80's and overnight lows around 60. Who could complain, right?

While it's awesome to not even be using the stove overnight and not spending money on pellets, it's still a little depressing that we're almost done burning for the year and the fires will be out for a while.

The forecast still looks great for another week, then we take a slight dip. Maybe a few fires left for the year!

I sound like such a pyro

Well, out here in the Pacific NW we are looking at SNOW by Sunday "AGAIN" snow this late in March is not totally unusual, but rare.

Fires will be burning here for at least another couple months.

I suspect that unless the weather really does an about face, that we will have fires of and on until June.

By May it will probably be just spot fires in the morning and or just through the night.

Can't beleive that you folks are seeing 80F weather this early. WOW

My stove looks so sad just sitting there without a flame.

How do you old timers stand it all summer? maybe a fake flame or flashlight in the stove?

Throw open a winder and let em rip!

Totally enjoying this, No run is no clean and no fuel used! I'll save it for next season!!

Summer is outside time, don't miss the stove at all.

Sorry, cant say that I will miss burning due to good weather. If I want fire, I'll just light up some lump charcoal where the outcome is better than heat.

Looking forward to this weekend's 60-70 degrees to shut down for more than a 24 hr period!!

I just got my stove installed 2 weeks ago. I had 1 day in the high 40's and since then its been close to 80. Go figure???

Now your talkin

I like the Summer, but it cost me more to cool the place than it does to heat it.

Seems like we get two seasons here, the cold wet one, and the hot dry one.

Fall is the nicest time here in my opinion (NW Oregon)

Well Bear, that can be taken one of many different ways...................

Well most of us on here are well past that point, a few from time to time might be considered as being lit even when not burning.

How's it going there in New Hampshire?
