That looks cold too me Steve. We don't actually dip below freezing they often over a winter, not day time at least. Autumn had been mild but incredibly wet, the lawn is a swamp. The parks a swamps. It's just rained and rained for the majority of the last 7 weeks, with 2 or the t storms giving a months rain in a day or two, I bet we've had 4months rain in less than 2. Cooler temps for the next few days though so I'll be lighting both stoves.
56 here in Igloo East Coast at the moment .

Dropped down to 7 last night and up to 13 this morning. Luckily I had a little bit of oak in the furnace so I had some coals to stir. I only have a cord and a half of pine to run through so hardwood will get me more mileage during the the deep cold.
We have had a few mornings below freezing, but then it warms a bit. Was a very wet year in general, except for a very dry Sept, which seems to have ruined a lot of the autumn colors.
It is getting colder, and the possibility of 3" of snow on Fri., we will see.

Snowing here now, 3-5" for some places just north, here the ground is to warm to stick around. Lots of problems on the roads here this morning as the snow is hitting the pavement and then melting and freezing
. Burning scrounged cookies and odds from a wire basket I set on the porch the other day. I hauled the rest in this morning, my hands got a little cold, but the house is toasty

I got out yesterday and got another ute load of the Peppermint tree I've been cutting for the last week, still got a good 2 or 3 more loads at least I'd say, man that stuffs heavy when it's in the big rounds I've got it cut into (too hard to split out there) so put the 394 log splitter through them to enable me to get em in the back of the ute. I've split most of it up by hand now but still have a few uggly knotty bits to go which I might use the saw on again.

Wow, that is just before our opening day on the 16th! That could make it real interesting trying to get up to the cabin, the Mtn always gets more snow than down below.
No OT for Mgmt James, just extra work and making sure everything stays running!

Dad passed early Tuesday morning. It was faster then we expected. Translates to tons of unattended details. Actually had an appointment with the attorney for the same day to do all of the paperwork which turned into retaining him to handle probate. I feel there is a lesson there and will put my own affairs in order once this is wrapped.
The positive is most of the family had an opportunity to spend time with him and he went without suffering a long time.
Pretty sure his blood pressure just bottomed out and with Afib his heart just couldn't do it's job anymore
Right to the end he just wanted to get well enough to come home. It was heartbreaking in that regard. He is the first of his family of 8 to die and in the middle age wise at 75. He really didn't want or expect to be first.
Hopefully I can stop hemorrhaging cash soon and get some time in the woods after firearm deer season.
