No, it was 51F overnight and it's already 57F! These are typical May temps. Bees are starting to come out and the grass is starting to grow quickly. Crazy weather.

Going to be a low of 0 overnight here and a high of 12 tomorrow! West coast>east coast
 
Looks just like my lil black cat Michelle. She is snoozing in front of the stove too. We are only at 23 with 35 MPH winds so far headed down to 7. She is in for a shock when she drives me crazy and I let here out in the morning.

i had my contractor over my house earlier to talk about a bath renovation... he hadn't seen the stove yet but when he did he was dying of jealousy :) he was bothered by my hearth not being flush, but i actually prefer it raised up.

so i'm outside boston and thus have like 48" of snow in my yard... my oil company came today to try and refill my tank and the guy was so torqued off that we hadn't dug him out a path so he could get to the tank faucet. he was yelling "you do nothing for me nothing, so i not give you oil". i was like "uh, i spent hours digging you a path after the first two storms and i've been busy shoveling snow off my roof since this last storm and just didn't get to it yet". he keeps going "you will run out of oil and you freeze. YOU FREEZE. i will not dig you out i have other customers i must fill".

i so badly wanted to tell him to go off himself because i have 450lbs of cast iron in my living room now ensuring i don't freeze. in fact, its 80 degrees in the house! i was good tho and kept my mouth shut. i have 3/8 of a tank and i'm not scared. i'll get the path dug before we run out.

the guy was just so rude about it. does he think i'm just sitting on my butt all day long? seriously. everyone around here is dealing with the snow aftermath on a regular basis. hardly anyone on my street has their oil path dug out yet. the company we used last year used to put on snow pants and just haul the hose through the snow. this guy had khaki pants with duct tape around the hems. of course he didn't want to do his job dressed like that.
 
Going down to 9* tonite and the summits cruising away. Oops forgot to turn the camera sideways lol you get the point

12 outside with -3 windchill. The night load cooking away at 750. If you look real close you can see the air wash glowing red. Got it up to 93 but that's because I had the fan on high trying to keep it from going over 750

I didn't do so good. During Snowmageddon the fool contracted to plow the addition next to us piled eight feet of snow in front of my driveway. When I got down there and saw that he was just making another run, I pounded on his window and he rolled it down and I said get that stuff out of my way. He yelled "Everybody complain! Screw you." And grabbed the door handle to open it. I yanked the door open and him out into the street and told him that he was gonna really hate having to tell people how bad that old man kicked his ass..

He got in and moved it.

You know what? I'd love to... I'd love to look around that amazing house actually. It's pretty much the same age as my wee cottage here. Bit bigger tho!
