We do that here almost every week year round. If it is under 20 mph we thing it is calm. Try it when it is -25 or colder and let me know what you think. 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.
We had the snow but the wind didn’t develop like they thought, this week is supposed to below zero, I hope the wind leaves you before the cold gets out there.
How did you do that, were you sweeping from the bottom?
I got the brush stuck about seven-feet down a neighbors chimney last week. 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.
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.
