The season

The season ahead

A forecast for the whole winter shows up here after a week or two of heating weather.

0.73 lb
Per degree-day
A degree-day is one degree of cold below 65°F for a day (a 35° day is 30). This is how much pellet each one takes: the fair way to compare a mild week with a bitter one. Creeping up can mean the stove needs a clean.

Refills

6 fills, 207 lb in all, about 34 lb each, every 1 days on average.
