    I know a lot of y'all have much colder and bitter temperatures than Nashville, but here's the forecast for my area. Old, unusable sheets
    have been pulled out of a drawer to cover the bushes in front of my
    house. Bitter winds are expected from the northwest and my house
    faces north, so I don't want to have any damaged plants like I did
    this past summer from December 2022 subfreezing temperatures
    and the wind.

    Our forecast for the coming week is similar in Ohio. Saturday the 20th
    will be a chilly 18/12 Fahrenheit. Hopefully it's all up from there. I
    bumped up the boiler to 65 degrees, but my toes are still cold.

    Shouldn't you bump up the boiler a little more to accomodate your
    girlfriend and her son?

    It was 60, up to 65 now. The problem is that I still haven't messed
    with trying to insulate the drafts. Doing laundry in the chilly cellar
    was miserable today. The bedrooms upstairs are warmer -- nearly 70.

    Nearly 70's room temperature.

    When it's freezing out, and colder downstairs, walking into a 70 degree
    bedroom feels like a heat wave.

    Her son has never seen snow before, so he was very excited for an inch
    the other morning. I speculate that he'll be entirely sick of it by the
    end of winter.

    I don't remember ever getting sick of snow as a kid.

    They lived along the southern Maryland coast, and he never saw snow
    before, aside from a light dusting. It never stuck. Now, there's at
    least 4-5 inches outside. Brr! He had fun playing in it, but it was
    "too much snow" once he got too cold.

    It occurs to me that the enclosed porch where I do laundry is about
    50 F. It wasn't miserable, but I don't hang around there. Laundry
    in the washer, 35 minutes later wet laundry in the dryer, 60 minutes
    later, clean and dry laundry into the house.
