We hit 18 today for a high, we'll take it.

I hear ya!

At 1:30 we were showing 17 degrees, so I went outside to split & stack the last of the cordwood that I got with my last woodstove purchase a few weeks ago. That's the mixed mystery wood I've been burning.

The wood is burning good. The woodstove will get installed in my detached garage this summer, after I refurbish it and paint it. It's a Fisher Grandpa Bear.

Kinda depends on which crystal ball gazer you tune in to. I've seen three for here that range from 26 to 32, although we're normally near the lower end... Here is a link to my weather station here on the farm: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ny/east-de-kalb/KNYDEKAL2?cm_ven=pwsdash_cityforecast
We'll see if this makes its way into the north country.

Another weekend storm "potentially" on the horizon. Underground is predicting up to 8" here Sat & Sun, they are the most accurate I've found. You typically get more than we do so the NWS may be on target.....

This is what i'm in for over the next few days - and this is in degrees Celsius. Needless to say, I've brought some of my good stash of white birch inside to prepare. Looking forward to seeing how well this stuff compares to the jack pine in this kind of cold!

Intellicast is forecasting 6-11 inches for our area on those days. We'll make sure we have enough wood in so if we want to hit the trails we can.

We had 18 this morning, I'll need to take out some ashes before I load the liberty up with some beech,sugar and soft maple.

I see Intellicast has up the snow totals for this Saturday and Sunday to 13-20 inches.

+22 and snowing here now....
It's about the same temp here with a little snow. I took the dog for a walk (I was dressed for cooler weather) so I'm cooling off before we put in wood.

With the colder weather coming after the snow, the brook will freeze up even more which will make the water run on top of the ice and go in any direction it wants so I'm glad we don't live close by.

Have been burning red maple and ash the last few days over the weekend had 3 fires in 24 hours to keep the house warm enough. The heat has been kicking on a little in the A.M.

That's cold, you can keep it up there!

What are you guys looking at for snow this weekend. They are calling for 3"-5" Saturday afternoon, over 12" Saturday night and another 3"-5" Sunday for me. I'm guessing we will end up with 12"

Today I saw 13-20 inches but I'm sure that will change.

We've been hovering around the freezing mark for the last couple of days...just warm enough to cause fog, and cold enough for it to freeze on the roads. It won't make up its mind. Either way, I just packed the stove with ash and oak, so it's going to be warm in the house tonight.
 
Well minus 30*C is here. Currently have a mixed load of birch, Manitoba maple and jack pine in the stove. Days like this make me want to be close to the fire.
