Back in business and need to share some coal business. It"s 4 Deg. out and 77 Deg inside with wind howling on this mountaintop on the Pa./NY border. Have only been running on the gravity flow to my upstairs from the DS Machine in the basement for the last 2 weeks. Thought winter was on it's way out :o had to re-light the 50-93 in the living room today and sure glad I did. Total coal comfort :D

16 now just outside Albany NY. Wind is gusting, 61 in garage 73 on main floor, cranking basement Keystoker to 78 for the overnite to stay ahead of the cold curve coming.

Nice to have the Hitzer, also, for when the going gets rough. After putting up with a little too warm temps for most of the last two weeks, my DS Circulator is getting to stretch it's legs a bit. Not as cold here as upstate Pa., but it's supposed to drop to the low to mid teens here in Northern Berks co. the next three nights. Sounds like a Nor'easter for Monday night until Wed. sometime. The coastal New Englanders may get another walloping. Maybe 6 to 12 inches, here.
