Wonder what all I can do about the cold?
Obvious answer is to stay home and turn
the heat up. I've got a towel acting as
a door snake, help keep the cold from
coming in under the door.

Only trace of snow, no snow moval today.
I guess I'll hope the utilities stay on.


Our house can get rather cold in the winter even with various sources of
heat that we have, so this year I tried one of those radiator oil
heaters on wheels, and it worked great! We liked it so much I bought
another one for the back part of the house.

Turning up the heat should not be required - the furnace will run
until the set temperature is reached - unless the thermostat is on the
sheltered side of the wall close to the heat sourse and the house is
so drafty that the rest of the house never gets warm...
