Winter storm watch for tomorrow morning, highs in the 30’s! Looks like I’ll be burning 24/7 for the next few days.

Woke up to 70* this morning. Gotta love WI weather!
Sounds a lot like New England with the temperature swings!

We have an outside temp of 66.2 tonight, I'm not sure what temp the basement is but we're at 72 degrees up here.
Tomorrow AccuWeather has us with a high of 74 with a low of 54, saving on the pine with these temps, ain't that just fine!

Weather Channel calling for 8-12” of snow today! Local stations saying more like 2-6”. Highs in the 30’s so it’s going to be heavy and wet.
After a full load of Aspen in the stove last night the cabin temp is currently 77, a little too warm so not sure if I’ll reload later this morning or just let it burn out and relight later today.

We had a low of 63.5 this morning with a forecast high of 75, it'll be another day & night without heating with wood.

Had a small fire last night and another this morning. Had to move fencing for the sheep in 45 degrees and rain. The stove was a welcome sight when I got back in.

Burning Hunk
Slept with windows open last night!! Normally we’d be close to full time burning by now. This weather is so volatile lately. Dropping down to the 30s this weekend and then back up to the 70s next week.
We had 82 today... Kids are out T&T-ing now, and it's a nice 69 or so. (In fact a rare "red flag warning" here, because it has not rained in about a month or so and the leaves are falling - it's bone dry here.)
Last year I had my first fire November 1 (at 45 F and falling). Looking at the long term forecast it's been consistently indicating for 2 weeks now that I won't have a fire until November 25 or so. (I only start burning if it's likely to be under 40-45 F for 24 hrs or more.)
So minisplit it is until then.
Though I was tempted today to switch it back to cooling... No wind (so open windows didn't really help), 82, and a strong sun heating the home, but I was able to keep it at 76 inside without AC.

This is about the same time I started burning last year.
The east coast is seeing some exceptionally warm temps. I can remember growing up in NYS that we had first frost sometimes in early September. Halloween trick-or-treat was generally pretty cold. My sister down in NC is still seeing low 80s.
