I have no idea how they are going to reopen this until spring. Neighbor just told me there is a lot more than 2 feet of solid ice there.

With all the rain we got Friday into Saturday, slight issue with flooding.
There is now about 2 feet of ice covering the road.
Will add about 20 minutes if I need to go to town.

I agree with Karla, these boilers don't need a big coal bed, Honda is correct to split your wood smaller.
