What is your weather. The news is sayimng s "shocking" cold front
throughout the midwest; I know you are NE , but ...............
It's cold; the 'shocking' cold hasn't hit yet. It was a bit shocking this
morning because I rolled out of my warm bed and went out to shovel the front
walk so the little darlings wouldn't have to walk through snow to the bus
(we got another 3-4 inches last night). According to the thermometer on the
porch it was 5 degrees. We often get that at night, but for the next few
days, that might be the high for the day. That's life in the frozen
north...we usually get at least one blast of that each winter. My house is
actually warmer than usual because I turned on the main furnace to add a
little heat to the basement so the pipes won't freeze (they are insulated,
but don't have heat tape...good to maybe 20 degrees)..
