No, we've had on and off nights drop into the 20's since just before Halloween. Normal first frost here is early October, it was late this year and just before Halloween.

Stove is going cold for the next couple of days as mid-70s return. Cooler by the weekend and colder air next week.
I didn't check but the wife said it was 30 this morning, more pine in the pine stove!

More oak, just end cutoff pieces keeping the house a comfortable 73°, a little warm for my liking. Happy wife, happy life

Me and a buddy were building a deck today in t shirts around 10 am and it was in the high 60s. If we saw one goose flying south we saw thousands. They just kept coming and coming. Around noon the wind turned from the southwest to out of the north and it was an immediate 20 degree drop with 20 mph winds the rest of the day.
Its 43 with rain showers now and a low of 32 for the night. I have three big splits of hickory and a post oak round for overnight.

Lows headed for high teens, a stove stuffed full of pine will do.
32F now and dropping into the low 20's or even teens. Just reloaded a fairly full load of mixed H.woods. Still looking like reasonable temps overall for some time yet. Now if we could convince the guy running the wind machine to back off it would be nice! Stay warm all.
The temp has been climbing tonight, we're at 49.1 tonight with a load of pine going in the wood stove.
We haven't had a fire yet today with the temp hitting 55.4 this morning, we've dropped almost two degrees since the 55.4 with the colder weather coming in later, pine time.

I put tiny load of post oak and hickory again in to warm the house up about a hour ago. It is 48 right now and sunny but man is it windy. I think 15-25 mph winds today.
We we hit 43, I started another fire with pine. It has been a wet damp day so keeping heat in the basement will keep everything up here nice and warm, we're at 40.8 at the moment.
been as low as 26 here at night with day time temps in the mid 40's, mosty white pine/red pine mix along with some basswood that needed to be moved.
Low supposed to be about 26f tonight. High today was 50 I let the stove go cold during the day. got down to about 70 inside. Just re-fired, red oak, same as it ever was. 50 for a high tomorrow again low in the low 30's . I will be in the woods tomorrow night chasing them silly deer.

Wishing good things for you and your surgery. Relaxing and healing in front of a fire sounds just about as good as it can get.

Expecting a low of 27 tonight with it 31 out now. I put just three sticks of post oak in to tie us over for the night.

Cold stove today, let it go out this morning with 65° here today. Took the opportunity to run the sooteater up and clean the ashes out of the stove. Looks like burning weather coming up the next couple days.
We have 36 tonight with a low of 30 forecast from NOAA, the bottom row has three splits of maple and the second row pine with a very small round of ironwood on the very top.
I'm thinking on Monday we'll have burned all the shoulder season wood for this heating season and we'll move on to hardwood until we stop burning in the spring.

Low of around 30 tonight with some precip coming. More pine on deck.
After coffee our temp was 32.4 this morning with more pine going in the wood stove.
Loaded the VC with basswood yesterday afternoon, went out for dinner. Around 9:00pm the stove was still at 500 (stovetop) with lots of red coals. House was warm, decided to let it go out. This morning the furnace was on duty. Will empty the ashes and maybe clean the glass.
Funny, I was running out of kindling last week from all the morning restarts. Stove has been going 24/7 since last Sunday. Just from picking splits from the wood piles I have gathered a bunch of it.
Will be burning more hemlock/basswood during the day and sugar maple and beech overnight until New Year.

20F this AM. The wind finally stopped. Scoop a few ash's and toss in another mixed load. My wife hailed me from the back door this morning. Laughing. We had a nice 2 or 3 year old Doe Whitetail drinking out of our cats water dish. While the cats sat around her! Not unusual to see the deer in my grove at all. Very unusual to see one sharing breakfast with the cats 10ft from my back door!

It's 29 out right now. I just put a stick of hickory, black jack, and a round and split of post oak in the stove. Expecting 49 today
