Once again, I was out preparing for cold weather, gathering firewood. By the way, N.O.A.A. got it right today. I must give credit where credit is due. I understand that for an Outdoor Wood Boiler I need around 10-12 cord of wood. I now have nearly 8-9, so I have much to do yet. I do not want to burn any oil this winter if I can avoid it. I should have all I need and some extra for those very cold days and nights in January and February very soon.
The N.O.A.A. forecast is calling for no precipitation, temperatures into the mid to low forties and the sky cover down to 34% by 05:00 hours. The Weather Underground model forecast map indicates that most of the day tomorrow will be clear, with a chance of showers late in the day or early in the evening.. Wood Pile here I come!
My own instruments and indicators cannot seem to agree on anything. The Weather Stick points straight out potentially indicating a drop in relative humidity or unsettled weather. I am guessing it is the humidity. The electronic instruments all say something different. The Weather Station Console says the barometric pressure will deteriorate and we will have rain. The Min/Max Thermometer says the barometric pressure will improve and we will have sunshine. Finally the remote weather station says (can you guess) clouds. I like the forecast that calls for sun and improving barometric pressure, so since I have the choice that is the one I will pick. It is probably wrong, but we will have weather whether or not we want it.
