Lots of people watching their firewood piles shrinking faster than expected.

My pellet stash is diminishing. I need to go grab another ton and if this winter keeps on like this, I’ll need yet another for a total of 6

Woodstove has eaten a lot of wood over the past couple days. When it’s colder out, you really gotta keep that internal stove temp up and when it’s that hot inside the stove, the wood almost vaporizes as you put it in, lol.

2015 I used up 5 cords and started working on the 6th cord.

I beat the cold!

Had to go outside earlier for a few minutes and wore

Thermal socks, thermal PJ bottoms, jeans, a tee-shirt, then my light green jacket, hoodie, heavier jacket, a hat, facemask, and thick winter gloves. Didn't feel any cold hahaha

Wiz - 1

Fake cold - 0 F/OT

17.8/-1.6 today

Cold, but nothing out of the ordinary for a cold winter day. I normally expect a good 10 days like this each winter.

Solid guess. CON averages 8 days with a average temp of 8 degrees or less each winter.

19° and it feels like a heatwave. Got the fire pit on a slow burn.

5th purchased cord is tarped near the driveway, March-May wood.  The 3/4 cord from the arborist-felled basswood (plus some other stuff I cut) is long gone.

About 5" new, 12" at the stake and light SN continuing.  The rare non-Grinch!!!

I still find this wild. MOS is hitting double digits below 0F in NNE Fri AM with +2C 850s.

A min of 24° on MWN and -10° at HIE.

For these setups with strong radiating but very dry air aloft (MWN very mixed) I sometimes take the MWN dew near sunset as the HIE low. MOS has that in the lower single digits right now. It doesn’t work too well if it’s too dry…like one of those rare sub 10% RH deals where the summit is like 0/-45.

It helps that they have like 20+ hours of darkness though.
