Cold Snap is Back

[Marine5068]

Although it's been mild so far this Winter, got a very cold snap of Northwest winds and temps of -16C down to -31C over the next few days here in Southern Ontario. Got the Maple fire in the woodstove to add much needed wood heat to my house.....And yes, Wife, cats and dog like it too.
Wife just texted from work thanking me for keeping it warm in the house on my days off. Can't get better than that.

I bought a stove last year and had it installed. I love coming home and getting the house nice and cozy. How did I live that long without it?

It is + 14 degrees here in Va. now. I hate the cold. don't know how you guy's do it up there.

It's -9 C (15.8F) right now at 10:30am but with windchill feels like -16C (3F)
Tonight however it's going down, down, down to -26C (-15F) and will feel like -35C (-31F) with windchill.
Saturday is more of the same with lows at night of (-28C) and Sunday night will be -22.
Can you say "Polar Vortex"?

I love it. I can dress warm to neutralize the cold. But I can't do the opposite to cope with southern heat. And if it didn't get cold I'd not be enjoying myself cutting and splitting firewood! I'm looking forward to the coming decades of global cooling some scientists say we'll be having.

The other one is behind the chimney...just can't see it.

With tonight going to -9 and windy I fired up the coal stove in the basement for the first time this year. I figure if the power goes out my OWB won't be of any help, But we still have the Vermont Castings wood stove for a back up or quick heat or just to look at on a weekend night.

-12 F with a 15 mph wind, gusting to 25mph at times. 34-40* below zero wind chill. The cook stove is cranking with a batch of biscuits and pot of baked beans in the oven.

Sorry to go off topic but That picture looks great , makes me wish I had a cook stove in my home . What a beautiful addition to a rustic style house . I bet that makes for some great family memories gathering around and making biscuits .almost like a step back in time
