This winter has been unusually cold

Can you ever remember it being so cold? What is it about this Winter that has been so chilling? Oddly enough, we have had really little snowfall this year, which is a nice thing, however usually that means warmer temps.

Not this year, when we are staying inside due sub-zero for days on end, even with bright and sunny skies above, it’s a nice thing because with no major storms our power, cable, and internet connections have all been running fine so far! On the one hand, we are still feeling trapped inside due to the harsh temps, however on the other hand at least we still have TV, Facebook, and a working heater! If the heating were to stop working, then this wouldn’t be a pleasant situation for very long.

The two of us do regularly have a couple of back ups when it comes to heating, because outdoors temps that low are nothing to mess with! Right now we are using our central heat, which is a natural gas furnace in the basement, however that;s not the only level of protection we have from the winter. We also have a few small space heaters, which we can use indoors, or run with a small generator as well. In case all else fails, and the power is out and the generator is out of gas, the two of us have a month’s worth of firewood to use in the fireplace. With all of this, heating ourselves through the Winter should not be an issue, however god help us all if the internet goes down and we can’t use Facebook.
