It's COLD

[sid]

I had my thermostat set at 67F/19C yesterday evening, and left it there overnight. At 6:30 this morning, the temperature in the house had dropped to 64/18. I guess when it's -6/-21 outside, with windchills greater than -20/-29 and no sunlight, a hundred-year-old furnace just can't keep up!

Big warm up today, thank goodness, she said sarcastically. Going on 1 pm, it's 14/-10, with windchill making it feel like -3/-19.

I see no reason to leave the house. I'm kinda attached to my fingers.

Is it any warmer now?

When you went shopping you did not need bags to keep your frozen stuff...

Snow would be nice here, but not 8 inches and not before December 24th...

14 degrees today, but it feels like 3. We hardly got any snow after all. *whew* Lake effect snow is completely unpredictable. A few miles from here, closer to the lake, there could have been a few more inches, but I lucked out. That reminds me that I need to shovel my front walk yet. A neighbor did the public sidewalk, so I just have to do the bit up to my porch. I will need a hat...

Ah, so the wind is biting. I am sorry to hear that. How very kind of your neighbour.

Should you like my hat? ;)

I didn't need the hat! A different neighbor did my front walk and porch. :-)

Will you have a hot mug of something for your neighbours then? As a thankee?

I should offer them some of the Spicy Peanut Butter soup I just made! Except that would mean less for me, so I think I won't, lol.
