That winter has arrived in NH. According to the Weather Channel website, it's only 10 degrees outside with a stiff breeze of 12MPH. Tonight is supposed to be -21 with 15MPH to 20MPH wind. Thankfully, I'm nice and toasty warm in my house. And, that the wind is supposed to subside during the day tomorrow. Granted, it's going to be cold Monday morning with negative temps but it won't feel as bad without those dang winds. Tuesday the temps are to be in the 40's. Go figure. Roger

Suppose to start warming up here tomorrow. 50 by the end of next week.
-
That makes -5 at my place tonight seem warm...
-
I needed a good reason to fill up tonight with some three year old oak.
-
i think i'll do the same here , wind chill -20 tonight and a high of 7 Sunday.
-
Dam oak is buried, ohh well some rock maple and black locust for this special occasion. Plus we all know what tomorrow is, best to keep her warm so we don't get in trouble.

I work, err have a job ;), at an Ivy League institution where we have a lot of students from countries where their winters never get below 60F, never mind when it hits freezing. When the temps get to 50 they complain of the cold. I do my best to cheer them up by telling them that it'll get much colder. They cannot fathom temps below zero F. I have also told them that there will be a time during the winter when the temps reach 30 - 40 degrees F and it will feel warm. They only become believers when they experience it first hand. Roger

I was sitting in jolly old England during the winter when the polar vortex was the huge thing on the news. Was 52 there and windchill of -40 at home. None of them could grasp it as we go at christmas and her aunt has still had roses in bloom in the garden. Told em -40 F is the exact same as -40 C, still got a dumb look.

-14 right now with a stiff 20 mph wind, gusting to 30 anyway, brought back nightmares(memories) of last winter. 70 in the house. Over and out!
-
well the t-stat says 0 outside the back door. just filled the boiler with nice dry oak and a couple big cherry rounds. not very nice out in that 20+ mph wind but the old house is 70 or better. Oh and my oil tank gauge hasn't moved yet ;D :thumbup:
-
Low 20's all day long in NC and down to teens in the early AM tomorrow, coldest week yet this year for us in the south. My house at 74..... :P
-
-16 here, wind howling, still 3 big splits left over from last nights fill, boiler at idle. Brrrrrrrrrrr

I filled the OWB at 4:00pm yesterday afternoon before leaving to have dinner with one of my brothers. This is the first time that I can remember having filled it to the top. At 5:00am this morning (outdoor temp was -18 and a very strong north wind) there was enough left to go another 30 to 40 minutes before being down to only coals. I'm impressed with this thing but if it decided to get colder or stronger winds I doubt it would have gone 13 hours, perhaps it would have been okay at 12 hours. But, overall I'm happy with it. Roger

When I went to church this morning, I'm usually one of the first people besides the priest to arrive. We always swap pleasantries. I asked if he enjoying the weather, his response was "it is a bit chilly this morning". One can tell when talking to a native of the NH that it's a bit chilly when the temp is nearly -20 coupled with a stiff north wind. Roger
