Yeah we started off in the 30's, but then the wind kicked up around 16:00, blew my chimney cap off ... , and the temp immediately dropped into the upper 20's.
Still dropping like a rock. 23° here now. Stoker is kicking into overdrive.

16 degrees and breezy at present here, both loops flowing hot water, boiler sitting at standby on the high limit setting and waiting to get back in the ring with old man winter. Lehigh Anthracite coal is doing well what I paid for it to do. House at thermostat setpoint. It doesn't get too much better. Mike
