backinit When the ex-wife first moved here 6 years ago, my boys came out for Christmas and they had snowmageddon, 5 inches. It snowed this past Jan, didn't last long, flurries. High desert here (4000'), gets chilly at night Dec-Feb. Not Maine chilly, but my son does use the gas fireplace--actually have 2 in the house, oddly enough.
BTW, not many trees here, limited time chopping firewood. Something to think about🤣
