House was cold this morning, would’ve liked a fire, but the area of that chimney is currently under construction, didn’t want to bake the fresh lime mortar dry.m, so we just burned some oil. Been about three weeks on this, already.

We had snow yesterday and Saturday, and woke up to 30 degrees this morning. We are way below normal for April temperatures. Looks like we'll have night time temps in the 40's for the next 2 weeks.

Yep, still burning wood...

If you asked me last week, I would have said yes, I've been for almost 2 weeks, but alas.. cold came Saturday and by 7am the stove was lit, burnt all day, all day Sunday and did a load this morning. Temps will be back up into the 60's by tomorrow, so that will be it.. but it was a decent season, had some frustrations with my stove (wrong cat sent by dealer during the biggest cold snap) bought a NC30 then sold it to my friend that was going to add a convection deck to it.. still chugging along with the princess.
 
we are possibly going to get up to 16" of snow today, so we will see. nothing yet, but we will have a fire tonight for sure.
 
It froze last night and is supposed to get cold again tonight. I'm sitting here waiting for the cat to become active, and then it will be off to bed for me.
 
at least a full load once a day- should have tossed some in last night - propane furnace kicked on early this morning. how much it was cycling last night i dd not know.
 
Lows around 40F for the next week. Might do a few fires. Don't like hearing the furnace!
 
had a nice fire last night. today it is 44º. I'll probably reload when I get home.
 
Just loaded the Fisher, now it's time for bed.
 
It's 36* this morning. Still burning wood...

I didn't burn any wood Monday morning or evening. Clouds and rain moved in yesterday so I had to burn last night. With full sun today I might not even light a fire before bed.

I’ve had a morning fire every morning lately but yesterday I burned several times and it’ll be the same today. We had sleet and snow accumulation last night and a hour north of here in Duluth Minnesota they got 10" of new snow. Agh...

That's wild. We are finally down to evening fires only here in Downeast Maine.

I will have to check in with my friend in Tomahawk, to see if they got any white stuff. The last one 4-27-19 missed me completely.

Tomahawk is a hour SE of me here in Winter.... an appropriate name much of the time lol. I heard on the radio a moment ago that it was still snowing in Duluth but it’s nearly done and they now have 13" on the ground. Yowza!

Still an occasional fire on a cloudy/rainy day.
Usually pine for a quick short blast of heat.
 
I just lit the stove a little over an hour ago. It never ends.
 
Frost warning the past two nights. Last night may have been the last fire!
