Most of the lake effect snow has stayed just North of me, we only got about 2" of snow over night. Winds are from the North at 5 mph with peaks at 11mph. 27℉ with 20º wind chill. Gotta love my new weather station!

It was 36 here last night, on the DMV pennisula, and only forecast for 39 today....26 tonight

Woooohooooooooooo....I finally got to open the 'snap damper' on the back of the Hitzer!!!!

Rarely am I as elated with a purchase as I am with my 254, or with a "new" technology, like burning coal!

goin for 0* OAT topped by 15 mph wind by morning.

came home and got ahead of it with a good de-ash and shake down followed by the first full to the rim and coned fire pot of the season.

using my new L.A. nut and so far it's everything I remember from back in '92 - '94. wonderful stuff.

just may call in sayin the car won't start just to sit and watch it burn.

happy heating,
steve

With coal heat, I have become accustomed to sitting around the house in my underwear....

but since I have lost 71 lbs since August 1st, I don't look near as hideous

as I used to.

Congrats on the weight loss RRBoy. that kind of success should be recognized.

hope it was intentional and not due to illness.

turns out it's -2 F here this morning, no wind yet. should be up to 15-25 mph later.

Your weather is suppose to reach us by Thursday with 0° temps. This morning we have a balmy 22° with 15 (peak) mph winds. Wind chill is 15° No snow yet but they are calling for lake effect snow warning through Friday. Ther just might be snow for Christmas after all.

You know how we usually want pic's ..... well in this case don't do us any favors!!!!

Big congrats......that is not easy to do, way to go! Good thing you have the coal stove this year since you are walking around with less 'insulation'!

Maybe you mentioned it somewhere, but where are you sourcing your coal? I am just north of you and am always checking if there is more convenient source than driving to Quarryville.

Tomorrow predicted high of 27F low around 9F Friday high of 21F and low of 17F so it should be real easy to burn coal LOL. Also a gale for tomorrow night.. I need to bring in some coal later this after noon and empty the ash bucket and tie it to something LOL!
