High of 44 today, and an inch of rain with thundershowers over the top of 4-5" of wet snow. High tomorrow of 24, low 19, then high of 11* on Saturday, so everything is going to freeze into a hard lumpy, bumpy slippery mess.
I had to srart the loader and clear the driveway of the sloppy wet snow before it froze into icy ruts.
The coal pile even though covered with a tarp is going to freeze into a solid rock. So tomorrow before is gets too cold I'm going to have to haul as much coal inside as I can, to prepare for the weekend and next week.
The Boiler seems to be behaving, I'm maintaining 140* water, but the real test will be saturday night. Forcast to be 2*, that means about -5* here at the farm. I'll see how it does then.

Finally Snowing Here and Getting Colder

Glad to see all is working out with the new boiler....I am sure it will take some tweaking and refining to get it perfect..
you will have a few more brainstorms that will improve it....
Today we have high wind warnings..30-50 mph..plus a severe temp drop over night...high Saturday 18-20* low single digits..plus wind..old man winter is knocking again at the door....
I will be running both stoves this weekend to fend off the cold
