We had a low of minus 5.1 this morning, the wood stove was loaded up after the first cup of coffee with five splits of beech and three splits of birch.

I didn't have an overnight fire so the furnace supplied the heat overnight.
 
Some black ash, cherry and pine this morning. It's up to 7 already here in the Northwoods. This will probably be the only load for the day because we're heading home later, but it will be sunny and about 30.
They're forecasting a low of minus 13 tonight for our area, hopefully this is the last of this chit.
 
15 degrees this morning with wind chill very close to 0. Came home, cleaned out some ash and gave it a full load of oak and maple. Cold today through Monday night and that looks like it may be the last of it per the long range forecast.

The remnants of the big maple piece didn't provide enough heat anymore.
20 outside, 69 upstairs. 32 forecast for the high.
A reload with spruce.
 
The spruce is all gone.
Outside is 27 going down to 17. Upstairs is 71.
I reloaded with red oak and pitch pine (I hadn't brought in enough oak to fill the box).

Just reloaded with oak for the evening burn. Going to 14 tonight. 71 upstairs and main floor 75. Should keep the house warm until early morning. Will cold start when I get up.

Overnight load of ash, beech and sugar maple with one small aspen gap filler. Cold walls from the weekend up north are just sucking up the heat. Currently 25 outside and will start rising overnight.
