We had 2 feet of snow yesterday after an inch of rain... 20 degrees when I left for work this morning, 36 when I got home tonight. Just brought home another 3/4 cord jag of oak on Saturday, and it had better be the last. That makes 11 cord for the year and I'm tired of it!

Sleeting here in VA today and windy and cold. Turned the basement radiators back on. Looks cold this weekend too.
I think it's the most wood I've burned since switching to a G.

No foot of snow here but weather is still crap.

Normally by National Bend Over day I can plan on grinding hay for the cows every 4-5 days, still grinding every other day just like it was January yet. Bad enough the cold and wet makes em eat more, but with the cold, wet, cloudy days the grass just started greening up.

Had to go to the heat pump had low water cutoff switch problem. It is a long drawn out one getting kind of old, if I did not hate people so much I would move to a real warm place. Gonna have to stop burning may 1st for local ordinance no matter what anyways so calling it a season cleaning it out on Saturday. That is quite the warranty strategy Superwd6 they sell them on sale in when they are no fun to drive and viola very few claims.

I think the wires going to the low water cut off can be wire nutted together to limp til spring. But if ordinances are shutting you down you're stuck anyway.
