After an unusually warm first part of December it has finally been cold enough this week for a 24/7 fire in the liberty. With highs in the 50s and 60s there was no way I could have a continuous fire in my liberty because it would be over 100 degrees in the house. I was beginning to think we wasn't going to have a winter here this year,but I just watched the weather and they said something about a significant snow storm here Monday or Tuesday and highs barley getting out of the lower 30s all next week. I was getting very tired of restarting a fire everyday. Outside temperature is currently 35 degrees with a 30 MPH wind and the living room is a toasty 83 degrees with the stove cruising at 660 degrees. I am probably one of a handful of nuts that actually like winter.
