It’s 7.5°F here, and the Sun is shining brightly. Good thing, too,
because we have lots of huge windows on the south side of our
house, and when the Sun shines, we get free solar heating in here.
It’s 69°F in here, and the heater hasn’t come on for a couple of hours now.
The yard is covered with snow, which is also full of animal tracks.
And Baby, it’s cold outside!
Been watching this 'warmest winter ever' as it quickly depleted 250 gallons of fuel oil. Unfortunately, insulation and airtight windows are not a trait of Olde Farm Houses... ;-)
The outdoor tempthing says it's 18°F here right now on its way to a low tonight of -11°..
The three kitties that insist on going outside don't stay outside for very long, the suet feeders get stripped as quickly as Walmart runs out of toilet paper before a blizzard, and the bambis have been stomping through the yard looking for bambifood (fortunately Mrs. NoC covered her rhododendrons with burlap or they would have been consumed.;-)
The 50' tall hemlock that was at the corner of the house was cut down right before the solidified climate change fell and the bambis have been munching on the branches that are lying on the ground. I have it on my schedule to break out the chain saw and complete the dissection of the remains right after the thaw and snow melt.
In June..
How are you doing?
I have had that solar insolation thing. It’s great in the winter but tough in the summer.
Our windows weren’t such that could be covered.
