To continue this.
last year I bought 4 TONS(8000lb) of PELLETS and had 20 BAGS(ish) remaining + dropped my oil tank from 1/2 to just under a 1/4th.
I Again BOUGHT 4 TONS and FILLED THE TANK UP TO JUST ABOVE 3/4ths
THE TANK IS BARELY BELOW 3/4TH, AND I HAVE SLIGHTLY OVER 2 TONS(4000LB) OF PELLETS LEFT + LAST YEARS 20(ish) BAGS (1000lb)
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
I SHOULD BE BURNING MY "COLD DAYS" pellets right now.
I was burning my "NOT SO COLD DAYS" pellets & even that is too much.

I will probably not even bother filling and starting the pellet stove tonight.
I'll let my furnace kick on at 60F if it gets so cold overnight or 64F around 5 am if it gets so cold.
Heck I might not even start the pellet stove tomorrow I may tell the furnace to raise the house temp to 66/67f and then let mother nature do the rest.
This whole week is supposed to be very warm. I dread what could happen to trees and vegetation with multiple 40-degree temp swings.

Ice is out in several lakes around us ( mid coast ) I looked up historical records.
Omg

yeeeep, the Kennebec River hasn't had a decent freeze in the last 6 years now. I miss smelting
It's also dangerous we had someone end up in the lake across the street with his ATV and this was a few weeks ago. Both fished out but ... 😳...
