5 outside, 80 in the basement and 73 upstairs. Not a single heater is on!! (yet my hydro meter is cutting a way through the outside wall...too many Christmas lights).
Cooler this morning, -7.6F (-22C)......woke up at 5:30 and house main floor was 65F.... loaded it up and now we're at 67F and climbing
I love heating with wood!
Yep. We keep it around 75 in the main living area. Overnight it drops down to 70 or so. The house is well insulated. It gets up to about 68-70 back in the bedroom during the day and 65 overnight. It was down to 22 last night. Love that wood heat!
Just across the river from the "Icebox" International Falls, MN... I'm not a big fan of these temps but the dog still has to go out so the snowpants are over the jeans, the insulated carhart jacket with wind resistant material over the sweater, down mitts, Columbia insulated hiking boots over two pairs of socks. The walks aren't very long in this weather.
When the kids were little, I figured we should have approached Sorel about doing advertising ... at least eight pairs of boots but sometimes as many as 10 when they outgrew a pair in the winter. Spring time wash up would have them all lined up on the porch rail to dry out - somewhere I've got pics
-1 degrees outside here this morning . . . heard tell up north they're a few degrees cooler. Honestly, at a certain temp it really doesn't matter how much colder it is.
-1 here at sunrise .......... 8 above now (10:48 a.m.) ............ Weather guy sez 1-3 in. of snow tonite....... then the rest of it tomorrow ..........
