Oh, gotcha! As a native Chicagoan, I’m familiar with the endless cold seasons so I could feel your pain if you indeed had to have heat from August to May. Now that I live in Texas, I only need heat from early December to the end of February - thank goodness.
The sleeping bags sound like a plan - or you could get a really furry dog, LOL.
I was kinda looking forward to this global warming business.
I’m kinda miffed that looks like a dud.
