Night time wood(heavy and larger size) and 160 LBS of coal in wagon
It should last us 4 days with what is in house and what is on porch is another 3 days of each without counting coal as we only add a couple scoops to the night time wood or when we are going to be gone for the day.
Last night weather report was 55 mph gusts with 35 mph winds with temps in SINGLE digits, at least one day at ZERO with the winds. I had already showed Hubby on my phone yesterday morning the forecast for single digits. He shared it with E yesterday afternoon. After the weather forecast of the high winds. Hubby went over and told E as he won't want his horses out in that.
That means wind chill temps will be from -15 to -30 starting tomorrow with this weekend being the worst. I put beef stew on the menu for tomorrow. I will bake bread today. Probably a custard and cake. We both know with winds like that Charlotte will be pacing in the house and trying to get her out to potty is going to be ME going with her.
Today we have 95% chance of rain with temps in high 30s.
We need the rain. Amish is looking for a pond to cut ice and it's not going to be ours. Neighbor down the block had water delivered to his pond so E is hoping he will let them cut ice.

Even though we have gotten some rain, it's not be enough.
I closed the upstairs off. One has a door but the other stairway has no door but I have heavy curtains hanging and binder clipped them shut along with towels at the bottom tucking them into the stairs. Usually with the wood stove we leave them open. House was already dropping in temperature when I got up at 1am this morning to feed the fire and let Charlotte out (deer was in the driveway AGAIN).
Stay safe
Prayers for peace.
Blessed Be

That is a LOT of wood. You should not get cold with all that prep. I love the big chunks. You must be exhausted. Poor Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteGood luck through your cold snap. I can't even imagine temperatures like you mention. Where I live in Melbourne, Australia we get maybe one night a year when the temperature goes down to 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit). Our Winter temperatures are mostly single digits at night up to low teens during the days, so that would be mid-high 30s to 40s Fahrenheit for you. We have really mild winters here. Your wood is stacked so neatly, especially the piles on your front porch.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get bucketloads of rain to fill your pond.
Stay safe and warm!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are prepared with all the wood. I know that is a lot of work though.
Stay warm !
