It is -1 right now and the house is 78 downstairs and 62 upstairs. I have had the "30" going 24-7 for the past week and the resolute has had 2Am feedings to keep it going through the night. It was around 62 downstairs this morning and 59 upstairs. It is supposed to be -10 tonight. Up north they are talking -20 to -30 tonight. It is Maine and it is winter so I am not all that suprised that it is cold out? I think I would be more worried if it was 50 out right now
Unity, NH

It's -3° here at the moment and the house is warm and comfortable. The furnace has been off for two weeks.
I'm plowin' through the firewood though.

My poor Encore is forlorn - no fire this evening. Living room was 72 with no fire. Not cold enough to bother. By morning the house should be 55 to 58. Oh boy! Time for a fire!! Wish I could have just a bit of the cold I'm reading about on here. Just a little bit, for maybe two nights...

I am not really sure how to take this line of crap. For the most part I am hoping it is sarcasm but if not you are really up for a fight of a life time on this site making a comment like this. For the most part all of us on this board contribute to it for the pleasure of heating solely on wood heat to maintain a certain level of independence that is now days mostly impossible to do by the larger portion of the public and with that we take a great deal of pride and in the effort of everyone that shares this experience with us as well.
Yeah we know it is cold outside that is why we heat with wood. If it were not for the cold this site most likely would be filled by a how to dance in a grass skirt in Hawaii or something.
And for the record it is currently -19 F outside and 80 degrees in my hallway and my furnace is switched off :lol:
It's -9 right now here in southeastern Ohio with a wind chill of -28 and the furnace hasn't come on at all. The stove room is close to 80 with the window open just a little bit now to keep it comfortable......the bedrooms at the far end of the house are maintaining mid to high 60's. Loving it.......lol
Yep, this is what's it's all about. ;-)

I wish I had brought more wood up to the front covered porch this fall after it had dried. I am really goin through it..........It's a balmy -2 now at 0400 hrs here, compared to -18 last night.........just throw another log on the fire and crack another Sam Adams...............
Yawn,
Last night at 10:30 PM was -21 and I filled up my firebox. Another morning in paradice, still seeking gold stars, I got up to start the cars. Glad I got up. 4:30 AM it was -26 and now -28 at 5 AM. My boiler had reached 175 and shut off. Yet my house temp said 56 and was calling for heat to reach 61 (all things are relative, it is warmer upstairs).
Humm, I went to my box fan and turned it up to high and pointed it at a standing radiator and told the boiler I wanted 190 degrees. I am guessing my furnace is sized right, I just don't have enough ways to get those BTU's out into my living room when it gets this cold. Nothing new. In a couple of minutes house will start calling for a balmy 65 degrees.
Good news is that both cars started, mine just barely. Where is that cup of coffee. Ooops the alarm is going off, 15 mintues and I should check on the cars. The usual early riser just got up. Yawn
Keep warm.

Fired last night at about 10:30 outside temp was 0. I don't know how low the temp dipped overnight. Got up at 8:00am temp outside is -7 and inside the temp is holding a steady 72. That's right where I keep the thermostat set. Heat pump has been shut off for weeks now. May get colder tonight .... guess I'll throw on one more log.

Last night it got to -36, currently we warmed up to -33.
The -36 was so far this seasons low.
This year has so far been more of a normal winter as for snow, for cold we are running around 10 degrees below the norm.

well, other than a few frozen waterlines we made out well. One more night of this stuff. Had -18 this morning!
Hit -36F early a.m. today, again. Same thing early Monday morning. House was only 66F this morning, though, rather that 69F on Monday, so only a 102F temp difference night!
N of 60 - you can have your weather back now. I'm done with it. -33F at the house this morning. Closest airport at -36F. Running the cast iron beast full tilt.
Conibear - I can only hope that it will take another 2 years for you to post something like above. The weather that much of the country is seeing IS unusually cold, so yeah, it warrants some complaint.

The worst of it seems to be over in the Upper Midwest. 1 degree and balmy in south-central Wisconsin.
We've got freezing drizzle expected tomorrow. If it wasn't for the weather, we'd have to complain about
religion and politics.

Well, of course, those of us who live up in the colder, less populated, parts are accustomed to a mite of frigidity. We're acclimated, as they say. The cold just doesn't bother us. Hardly at all. We actually enjoy it.
Here's what I do whenever it is below -30. When I need to go out to yellow up the snow, I take off my shirt (though I'll admit that I do always keep my ear-flaps down if it is windy), and then I shout "OK, you damn muh-muh-mosquitoes Hu-hu-here's your ch-ch-chance Cu-cu-come and guh-guh-get it" Then I run back in before they can find me.
This always gives me a chuckle.
