So I know most places out west have been experiencing drought, especially in terms of snowpack for summer melting (resevoirs and such). According the the maps it looks like you're all getting hammered. Any of this going to effect the moisture issues?

9.5 outside, 66 here in the office with the stove pumping out heat, 60 in the adjoining kitchen. Dog is blissfully napping next to the stove. Great to think I can get out on the motorcycle this weekend.

Zero at the lowest; stove kept the house warm; even with overnight float down it stayed above 66. Now about that motorcycle ride; if this "Ain't" a good case for the old, "if you don't like the weather in New England just wait a minute it will change", then I don't know what is.
This Zero stuff is just a test you know, wait till the Jan thaw is over and we get into Feb

It's nice having more stove than you need, "gaining ground" easily in minus double digits rules!
