We had flash snow and ice yesterday. They didn't bring the salt trucks out, so we were going around a turn in the jeep at like 16mph, probably less, lost every bit of traction on a patch, and went right into a curb... At that moment, I missed fwd...

Wow temps are back above 50 around here, crazy. It's winter they could have stayed in the 20's, I was not enjoying the sub zero temps but I do like snow.

When my parents switched home insurance we had to install a 3/16" plate of steel above our coal stove to cover up a wood panel, which has been there for over 30 years without a problem. The coal stove rarely gets turned up to half way because it just cranks out heat.

i really dislike wood smoke coming in through my window from dickhead neighbors burning wood. oh well that's my problem.

once a year i buy a bundle of wood just to hear the crackle and i see that shit just pouring out the chimney. Some poor guy is probably slamming the windows shut and cussing "fucking dickhead neighbors burning wood again" heheheh

Pretty funny, never knew people were bothered by wood fires.

Welp it rained for a couple days and all my roofs have shed so I didnt have to get up there and shovel them off. But we are expecting 10-14 more inches over the next 36 hours

50ish in the morning when I ride to work, so I have to wear gloves. 70ish when I get off so its a nice ride home. and ride my bicycle, not a motorcycle so I am really enjoying the weather and sun.

south texas temps are usually great but we are not into the cold month yet. we are like Houston so we have wet cold, which sucks. we are a coastal town so you have that to effect the temps but usually that keeps us warm in the winter and cooler in the summer than central texas.

feb is when life sucks, temp wise. its normally in the 30s and drizzly most of the month. I hate it but I hate cold in general. I grew up in socal/Hawaii/south texas so anything below 70 is really cold to me

in CA at least idk anywhere else. you supposed to remove old wood stoves and install new "CARB" certified wood stoves if you buy a house with wood heat. Most people usually just ask the seller to put it in the back yard or just come pick it up and re install it after the sale is complete.

That's kinda funny because I see alot of the external wood furnaces around my area and they are trying to reburn emissions aka green house gases but those tend to be slow burn. Assume since they are not installed in your home they don't need to be compliant.

My parents live on 10 acres of forrest and chop all their own firewood and solely heat the house with wood. They've been doing that for over 30 years, and now the insurance companies want to force them to stop due to the 'risk' of a wood burning fireplace.

Needless to say my dad is pissed and digging his heels in.

Im America your allowed to burn wood lol

Yeah had same issues with Liberty Mutual. They were squaking about former house's chimney not being proper sized for the 3 appliances using it even thou it was scratch built for them. Dumped them in favor of USAA and rates went down by 22% because my auto was insured with them.
