    A sad reality is that when we get extreme cold people stay indoors and
    do things that consume a lot of electricity.

    I know! I've avoided using my lathe that with a 1.5HP motor, uses too
    much juice under these conditions. All the lights are low wattage LED >strip-lights.
    I normally do the laundry on Sundays but I'll wait until the Chinook
    blows in.

    No racist language, please.

    Our forecast for the coming week is similar in Ohio. Saturday the

    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.

    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.

    I did when I was in my 40s.

    By that stage I didn't see much snow anymore. Climate change had taken
    care of that.
