Yabut, your houses are built for that kind of weather. Ours aren’t. I’m just glad hubby insisted on blowing in 15 or so bales of insulation in the attic last year. That’s made a huge difference.

Now we just need to start replacing windows. My living room window (insulated from the rest of the house now with those handy insulated curtains!) had giant ice chunks on the INSIDE the morning it got down to 8F.

I've had that experience...there are loads of drafty, poorly-constructed homes up here.

LOL. That reminds me of when we lived in Vermillion South Dakota-in a trailer. I used to get up and chip the ice off the door so we could go outside. Most of the trailers had a makeshift enclosure on the porch to help keep the heat in.

One nice thing we had dairy delivery, and never had to worry about getting up late-the milk was always very cold, and the insulated box kept it from freezing.
