They are showing -33 tonight and a 20-30 mph wind. Look that chill factor up. It does show a warm up coming after three nights of -32 or colder. Last edited by MJM; 02/16/25 05:50 PM.

I've swept his chimney many times without issue. He hadn't had me clean it in a long time, too long. It was really creosoted up. Brush went it and jammed. I had to use a vice-grip on the fiberglass rod and a flat bar to pry it back out. Told him he needed to call a professional. Eh...wot?

Lugnut trapper L Joined: Dec 2006 SEPA	I'm thinking that's what whoever the neighbor with the clogged chimney had come out did, a chain or something similar. It was too clogged for a regular brush. I saw thew cap was back one when I drove by but didn't get t talk to him yet to see how they got it cleaned. Eh...wot?
