I will take the warner Temps this year. Keeps us from using so much wood heating this big old farm house in the beast of wood burner. Can't remember how many truck loads we have used but I brought up 5 more in the last few days and they won't last long. But I have mostly only burnt green pines that have blown down this year cleaning up the mess. So far 4 have been or will be reduces to ash. I live in a old farm house too> I heat with propane and wood. I have used just as much propane as normal. when it get 10 to 15 below the house frosts up and seals. It heats easier then. The wind is still blowing through the house with the warm weather. But that could all change pretty fast.

I just picked up a couple of buckets of dropped apples. Little waterhole down by the driveway culvert. 3 different leopard frogs setting along the edges and jumped in ? Actually stopped and checked to make sure it was frogs . Was amazed at this time of the year. I'm sure it will freeze solid later this winter.

I read that Anchorage has already exceeded 70" of snow! Is this correct? yes you are right. And on the west coast we have no snow minus 10 degrees windchill minus 30

Russia will soon be able to grow corn and soy where it was just barley and wheat before.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
