Well, we got our first snow in a year or two. I guess we got about three inches on the ground before it quit. I know you guys up north have had a plenty this season! My new heating system failed a day before the cold hit, been using the old wood heater. I bought an 18 wheeler load of oak logs two years ago, cut and split most of it and am now starting to burn alittle. Its 90 degrees in here and about 25 outside. I love this wood heat!
