We had 18.1 this morning after our first cup of coffee but the temp kept dropping, the temp finally bottomed out at 15.6. The sleeper temp was 69 this morning , up here was 70 and the basement 75.

I shut the pellet stove off and started a fire in the wood stove with three splits of beech and four ash splits. I made some spaghetti sauce for supper tonight so the temp up here is 73.

We were having some pretty good wind gust this morning with whiteouts, that all started just after 4 p.m. on Saturday and lasted throughout the night and this morning. I'm thinking the wind with the whiteouts cleared this area.

Very windy here today with a max of 38. Sunny, but not pleasant. Worked on an expansion of our garden for this year.

Now a 60 percent full reload with oak shorties. The low will be 28, and tomorrow will be 49. Likely the last fire, if the long term forecast does not change.
