I can't find any more info/plates on it on the sides. Too fat to get around back. It does say Pat. Pend. on the door.

As far as I know Fisher shut down when the EPA mandated big changes in the stove industry. Though their might be a franchise still building stoves in New Zealand. Fisher provided the plans and guidelines to multiple franchises instead of building all the stoves in one place. Thus avoiding the shipping costs.

Nope it's an old school 'Fisher', the Grandpa model (their largest).

If you don't mind my asking, what does 2 acres of bare land go for in Prescott Valley?

Yes. Three. LOL. I didn't see any "reports" of actual funnel clouds/pics but weather radar saw them apparently. News showed lots of microburst damage which interestingly enough LOL, resembles what tornadoes do. East valley, east central Phx.

We got a further light dusting of snow overnight and awoke to 20 degrees outside.

News reports there were actual tornadoes down in the Valley.

Almost built a fire, glad I put up some wood on the porch just in case. The danged Coleman lantern stank, didn't leave it on for long.

Seems to have pretty much stopped for now @ 5:00 pm, I think we're at around 8 or so inches. Reckon we'll see if there's more to come overnight.

Making me a mean pot of chili today, perfect weather for it.

No warning was needed as we were expecting the storm. It was just a surprise as to how quick it turned to snow. Literally as if a switch had been flipped.

We only got a couple inches and it was melting fast as the sun came out and aren't supposed to get more.

No loss of power here and we already had a fire going in the wood stove for heat in any case as it's our primary source.

Yeah, we had a tornado warning. I heard a roar like a cargo plane flying low. The rain was coming down in buckets. Whatever it was, it passed over us.

I've lived here for 15 years and I've never seen a tornado warning before this morning.

Went from pouring rain to this in a flash as temps dropped from 40 to 32.

Happy Thanksgiving!

40 degrees here with lots of wind and some rain. Supposedly temp will drop and it will turn to snow but weather reports suggest it won't be the heavy snow they first hinted at.

If it doesn't freeze up I feel sorry for my UPS guy who will be driving through the rain/mud to make a delivery later today.

Edit: Rain really picked up right after I posted the reply. It's pouring now.

Edit2: Snowing like crazy now.

Paperwork is all done and the land is ours. Just need to get into town and grab the documents.

We had the first snow of the year a couple days ago but it melted in a few hours.

Got another light coating yesterday that kind of stuck around (it was COLD outside) and possibly will see a real snow storm on Friday.
