I've got about half of a cord, but need more. I met a TR3 owner on the TR List (he's on BCF too) and helped him pull his tranny. I say helped but I'm disabled so I supervised. He has 5 1/2 acres and some standing dead oak. Gypsy moths, I guess. Anyway, he doesn't burn wood, so he said to take it! I returned with my friend Carl, who has ONLY wood for heat, and Carl's brother. They filled our three trucks.

I live in a 1790 stone and log cottage. It has a propane forced-air furnace and a woodstove. The furnace just can't get it warm enough when it's this cold. I'm almost hugging the woodstove right now!
 
Actually our winter has been fairly mild, untill recently...
Today saw a high of 15 F. the motor into work this morning was 1 F ! I looked like Nanook of the north. Sweater, coat, ski gloves,knit hat, scarf, coat with liner...
Our shop sits in a long open vally, so the wind blows hard all the time. It was brutal this morning. Just shocked your lungs to the point of making it hard to breath.
Temps goin down quick now!!! 10 F
 
It's sounding pretty brutal up there. We will be thinking warm thoughts for you down here. Glad to hear of you wood-find there Dr. John, ration it well (it's going to be a long cold snap! ((((/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif)))) ) and keep the home-fires burning!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
I just took a look at The Weather Channel.
My goodness, a major snow storm is going
to pound everyone from Minn to Maryland.

below zero windchills all over the place.

Best of luck all.

-2 here and falling...wind-chills to -35/-40. *Yawn* time to get the sweaters out I guess. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

(Kidding....I am an absolute wimp when it comes to the cold. Hate it).
 
School has been cancelled Monday and Tuesday because of the excessive wind chill...my girlfriend and I are making Belgian waffles tomorrow to keep warm. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
 
We actually got up to 45f or so today. Almost took the motorcycle out, but there's still all that road salt out there...
 
It's 37C today and a predicted 40C tomorrow. Cooling down for the weekend to a more comfortable 30C.
I might go for a swim at my local beach after work tonight....

Currently +4* F....wih forecast of drifting snow across the plains of Illinois tomorrow.
 
Gona be nice today 62, tomorrow as well.
 
8 here!!
 
Nearby Hagerstown, Maryland had a record low this morning of 3 degrees F.
 
We've now accumulated about 3" of the white stuff...and it continues to come down.

Not much, I know, but enough for us!
 
Were back in the high 40's and low 50's in Northern Colorado. Plenty of wet roads during the day from massive melting, which leaves lots of black ice when it dips below freezing where the melt has washed away the mag chloride. It's always something it seems. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
Hey Ben,

Just caught a live feed from New York
with some poor SOB pushing a snow blower up
to his waist in snow...with tons more falling
on him.

Was that of shot of you hooking out of work?

Not to bad here today.
Long sleeve weather at only 78*F
You sure you don't want to fly down here
and help out with Crypty's problems?
It beats snow blowing!
