It's supposed to drop to °25 tonight, so I lit another fire this evening. This morning I had a fire to take the chill off the house. It's been raining all day and the basement is damp, so a fire helps things out. In this weather, I'll split down 2 splits for a quick fire.

Sorry to say but .....I fired the boiler again yesterday......
It's been mild the last few days here with temps. around 13C but dropped and sitting at about -10 now with an inch of new snow on everything.
Started a fire in the wood-stove this morning and had one going all last night.
It's supposed to be cold for the Easter weekend here with daytime high temps at around +2 and lows around -10.

20+ mph winds and snowing pretty hard here today and have the possibility for a couple of inches tonight. Fortunately the ground is warming up so it won't stay around long. Melting makes for a sloppy mess. Have a fire in the fireplace right now and will keep it going all day.

I'm dealing with this now too. Wood when I'm home and off peak electric otherwise. Just need propane for kitchen stove and water heater.

I'll need to refill at some point. It is nice having a 1000 gallon tank full as you know most of a heating season is covered if things went south.
