When you look outside in the morning and see that all this fell overnight

I mean seriously is there anything that beats a nice warm fire on a cold winter night :)
That and a nice scotch/whiskey to make sure to take the chill away.
Add a good cigar and I would say that equals a perfect day!Quote:

That kindling looks to perfect. I don't know if I could burn it there might be a set or two of scales in there! :D
Wow!! That's a lot of snow!!! Im just south of Toronto and its been 42 degrees for the past week. It sure doesn't snow here like it use to. I remember as a kid It was always snowing around here. The piles at the end of the drive way at Christmas time were huge!! Now every time Im out, every other house I drive by has a snowmobile on the front yard with a for sale sign on it.
Hot fire, old black and white movie and PJs on the couch. Spend the whole day and not feel guilt.
Looks like my place outside. We got our snow about six hours before you did. We've been told to expect another 8-16 inches tomorrow. The nice fire is great when you don't need it. This weekend our power was out for near three days and my gennie's not running yet. Then, the nice fire is really appreciated. :)
I don't have a fire place but I have the next best thing. Its safe for kids, dogs, and drunks. It doesn't really keep you warm but it sure gets the mood right!! Its easy to put out when your done too. Just that extra touch on Christmas morning!!

I miss my fire place back home. This apartment does not have one, in my personal opinion every dwelling should have one
fireplaces are nice, but i truely prefer my woodstove, and definitely on a morning like today. wind ripping so hard at times i can feel it
Looks like a very nice stack of wood! ... and it looks like we share back yards too :). Our wood stove is really nice (very practical too, it has glass, for the comfy feeling, but also pipes going up and down before going out + a fan that blows heat out in the room). Recently got a delivery of wood, 2,2 cubic meter of birch, should last us this winter :D
That is one amazing coffee table! Is it solid all the way or did you do some cutting out on the flanks?Quote:

I'm jealous.
Seriously. I love snow. And nothing is nicer than a thick blanket of fresh snow outside, on a day that you don't need to leave the house. The world is a much better place when it is snowy. Sadly, this year it won't be anything but rain, rain, and rain.
The only thing better would be to be in my smithy on such a day, with a charcoal fire blazing, and a pot of hot coffee.

It's gonna be all Bing Crosby this Christmas up here as well.
To calm two very eager kids, we are off to do some Cross-country skiing today.
Good times:)

I have a good fire going in my wood-stove. And plenty of fire wood.
It is quite nice to have a wood –stove with a cooking plate on top.
My glass is filled with a pleasant Maltese red wine and I read one of Patrick O’Brian’s books.
The Christmas Album by Frank Sinatra sets the mood. The finer things in life. :)
Im jealous as well, the last few years been disappointing as far as snow is concern. My woodstove been burning and i enjoy that quite a bit, its a nice reward for the hard work in the spring getting all the firewood ready and my famous kindling party! Enjoy!
