It's cold!

[jetsam]

High of 26 here today, 40 mph wind gusts. Much colder overnight. Snow coming next week.

How are you weathering this unpleasant March coldness? What severe weather emergency action plans are in place? (Mine's below.)

We want pictures!



(Yes, this is a thinly veiled excuse to talk about the weather and see pictures of animals in front of stoves, but I like those threads...)

I had 6 in Northeast PA.
Storm is going to be a close call Tuesday for us.

It's about 22 degrees in my area of PA and I'm sitting here with the heat pump running Running low on seasoned wood so I'm trying to save it for any big snowstorms /power outages that might still come this season. But sitting in my house in this bitter cold with the heat pump running is the worst...I'll be better prepared next season! I'm envious of your pic, so is my dog!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who keeps there house in the mid 80s. Was that an accident or was it intentional? Me personally I shot for a constant temp in the mid 80s in the winter

I wish I could do that, but the wife starts emitting overtemperature warnings at 75. I would have to keep the bedroom door closed if I kept the house at 80+ though, I do like a cool room to sleep in.

This dog steals my chair all the time he's a keeper

It looked like the last chance to fire up both stoves this winter, so I went for it! I've had it over 90 in the main area before, but I can maintain mid 70's pretty easy in the whole house with the BK. I decided to let them both rip this morning!

I think your dogs are trying to tell you it's to hot in here Jetsam!

The big grey one gets right in front of the stove and bakes until she's hot to the touch. The other two don't like to get that close.

The combustion temperature of pointy grey dogs is somewhere north of 170... if it gets any colder outside I might get more data on this.

Our English Shepard won't get near the stoves. Our Doberman can't get enough of it! She gets about as close as possible to the glass.

Eh, I don't speak dog. But that one does appear to be melting.

 

[jetsam]

I have the thermostat on about 70% and it has even chased the heat-loving dog away.

This is not good one dog passed out other one looking at me wanting me to call fire department.

Love it! A doberman and a fireplace. Life doesn't get much better! I have two dober kids and in the process of installing a woodburning fireplace. Looking forward to the cooler weather.

Another dobie on this thread, love it! Hope my two love the fireplace as much.
