Kay Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'm afraid I'm mostly a #1 with a dash of #9. Not remotely a perfectionist, and the #2 approach is right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I am an unusual combo of 2, 6, and 8. It depends on how tired I am. I am only a 2 on a portion of the total real estate to be shoveled i.e.. the front walk and adjacent driveway (but not the whole length of the driveway.) If I am feeling OK and not tired No. 6 fits as good as anything. I do have a blower but only use it on the biggest of storms i.e.. > 12 inches.

Kay Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I am a #2 insofar as I make sure throughout the storm that it's possible to open a door. Also, just remembered I've discovered a #11- The Snow Angel in my hood! I saw this guy plowing the street and clearing another neighbor's drive a few times last winter. Turns out all of this was gratis. I met him recently and he was almost apologetic that he didn't clear my driveway. He didn't want to presume. Lol...it's all yours, buddy!

snownut Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I am definitely a # 12. Awesome storm out here. 10" of snow and sleet since yesterday and frigid temps. So glad I moved, at least so far.. Hope you all get plastered soon back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Oct for me. I prefer to freeze outside and torch at home. It's the cold nights that get to me here and I can't stand a chilly house. So even when the heat was on late Sept and the windows all closed up it didn't run much during the day just after dark mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Looked like interesting morning in Denver yesterday. -14, along with fall foliage. That's not something you see everyday. I wonder if that causes damage to the trees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 First fire in the woodstove today. The furnace has ran at night for past couple weeks when the house dropped below 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 First fire in the woodstove today. The furnace has ran at night for past couple weeks when the house dropped below 68.I've been burning mine on and off since late October. Last night was the first night I burned oak. I usually burn my junkie softer woods during fall. I've got some nice red oak burning now. It's got a nice 2 year season on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually burn my junkie softer woods during fall. I've got some nice red oak burning now. It's got a nice 2 year season on it. I was gonna try to make it to Thanksgiving before firing the stove up, couldn't stand listening to the furnace coming on and off through the day...hahaha! Once started I like to keep it going. Guess if we have 'Tourchgiving' I'll have to let it go out. I burn mostly oak (white and red) locust and some maple. Have 3.5 acres so I have enough that die/fall, etc that I haven't had to buy but one load of wood since building house here in 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heat my house mostly with wood. I really like that steady dry heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Mine has been on with some consistency since late Sept. There were a few mornings where I could have used the heat but I'm a cheap-o when it comes to our electricity bill. And living in a townhouse has its perks I guess in terms of insulation on both sides of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Yep, hard to beat (and the price is right too)Yes sir.. I cut my own wood from my land and my neighbors land, so it's mostly free, and I enjoy the time spent outdoors during winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend has it the shovel I had to retire in 2011 goes back to the winter of 1996. Ah my old trusty blue must have logged over a millions scoops. Steel handle with a back saving angle and aluminum end scooper. A better shovel there has never been made. Over the years some rivets gave way and were replaced with and odd assortment of bolts and nuts. In the end it more looked like an ancient relic from Siberia.

mattie g Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wife and daughter are enjoying time with the in-laws in South Carolina, so I'm brewing a chocolate oatmeal stout today (right now, in fact). Basically a grown man's chemistry experiment that gives you beer after a month or two. So awesome. I'm also going to make a few pints of cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving before going out to pick up leaves. Then I'll drink beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
