Cold winter for sure ...
By early January, half of our 6 cords of hardwood had been burned. We're down to the end of it right now with just a few more weeks of supply. We burned a lot more during the weekdays this year compared to others but this is the first time we'll run out of wood entirely.
Normally, we go thru a little more than 1 bin per week, but this year it has often been 2 bins per week, so lots of re-stocking. This will be the second year in a row that the ice will last until April. We still have snow to the second rail at our backyard fence (maybe 2'). A few years back, we had winters when the lake never even froze over entirely.
(My finished basement project goes unfinished for about the 5th year
) But we keep it nice and warm in the winter and it's the place for me to hide out when I want to read or otherwise be undisturbed. I keep some sailing mags and books on the table.
