What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

Not well. I haven't even put the new batteries in the truck (diesel) because I figured it wouldn't start anyway. I bought them, put a full charge on them in the basement, and there they sit. Hoping the wife's car starts on Sunday for Church...

-6 with -25 real feel. Nice coals this morning but not too much of a mountain. Aspen and pine runners n/s with black ash e/w. Coal management will become critical the next few days...

And a diesel at that! I'd love to have one, but as mentioned they have trouble in very cold weather. Maybe an engine block heater is essential in cases like this.

With Sunday's extreme cold (not as cold as yours) and pending significant snow coming here, need to have an ample supply of wood in the house.

Was -13 when I left the cabin this morning, don’t think it will get above zero today. Probably hit -30’s the next couple mornings. Wind chills are going to suck!

I’m going to strategically place my trailer next to some trees to catch them as they explode for firewood, no splitting required!

Wow - maybe a high of -1 ! I was going the suggest the same for the exploding trees - might as well gather the wood since it's semi-split or maybe with luck adequately split. Ideally it would be a dead/seasoned tree.

Goodness gracious y’all are facing extremes! Good luck

Over here in soaked French farmland, it mostly just gray…and plenty of rain

RealFeel is 3C/ 38F and staying similar tomorrow and then it will stop a bit

Block heater is standard on diesels (at least here).

Up to 0, real feel of -20. Might hit 1 yet... Third or fourth small load just went in. Doing surprisingly well with inside temperature. Tonight is supposed to be the worst of the cold, -30 temperature with -57 real feel is the latest forecast. Tomorrow's forecast HIGH is -11 real feel -27.
