Tough maybe
Thought maybe you froze up and blew away out there! Didn't go through any wood did ya?
Lol! This has been something else for sure. I'm thankful my house isn't any bigger than what it is, or my stove would've struggled to keep up. She was going through the wood pretty good. Over twice as much this past week as I normally go through in a week with 20-30 degree weather.
I don't recall in my life, having a stretch of temperatures like we've had. We've had single digits with negative overnight temps for a couple 2 or 3 days before and then it went back to normal, but it hadn't broke 12 degrees for a week and a half and for a 4 day stretch over the weekend, the highest it got was 6 degrees, with 2 days of a high of 1 degree, without wind chill. Thankfully, we only had bad wind 2 or 3 of those days. Then again, it doesn't take but 15-20 mph worth of wind in single digits, to make things pretty miserable.
Today it finally got up to 23 degrees and it felt like a heatwave. It made me think of the movie Grumpy Old Men, where Walter Matthau walked out his door, deep snow everywhere, singing "we're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave".
Sounds like alot have struggled with power outages. We've actually had power the whole time, which is pretty amazing, considering how many times we have outages out here. Somehow things have stayed on.
Good grief. Maybe I should check in a bit more often, so I don't have to type a novel when I do!
I hope everyone is doing good and hanging in there!
glad for sunshine all day.
