calling any one from missouri

No light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon look at next weeks forecast!

We're looking at well over 2 weeks of below freezing temps. I think the next day above freezing is supposed to be Saturday after next (the 20th) and then get cold again.
Pretty much write off this February.

I hope I don't run out of firewood... found some but can't get out today to go get it as the driveway is so slick you can't even walk on it. Normally I'm overrun with firewood but didn't get the bins full this year and the cold is making me burn it at a faster rate. I have a couple of backup 100 pound propane bottles but one is empty... I may be running a temporary line from the 330 gallon backup propane tank to the garage soon!

Tomorrow we are supposed to get our second covid shot so I hope we can get out by 9:30am without taking a trip through the woods in the van.

Oh man.. I hate to even think about driving that road to your house in this kind of weather!

If you come in the long way (from the north end of 521 ) it's all gravel and not as steep so that is the preferred way when the roads are snowy or icy. The driveway is asphalt now and the flat part is somewhat melted off but the hilly part from the house down to the flat is slick enough you could not walk down it, you could slide down on your bum but I didn't try that. I cut through the woods to get to the mail box this afternoon.

Used the last bit of ice melt I had and salted the hilly part of the driveway first thing this morning. It was OK by the time we left at 9:15. Got to the BOB at 10:00 and was walking out of the BOB at 10:30. A much better way to give 2,000 covid shots.

I found a source for some good firewood today and got a truck load and have it stacked up in the wood bin, going for another load tomorrow. Kinda strange to find a good source for firewood on craigslist usually it's slab wood, seasoned (punky) or something else. Next year I need to be prepared better!
