Jut to keep it in perspective… We have not seen 0 C since Jan 17, and most days we celebrate if it is warmer than -10 C. I have about 30-50 cm of snow on the boat’s cover (I am going this weekend to rake it off – I need to do it about every two-three weeks).
But skiing is good (😊). Snow really holds up well when it is -25 C (😊). But another 6 weeks (maybe 8) and the Spring will be here.

My house bill will likely be way past $500, $180 would be cheap! The boat only has a battery charger and one heater set on low power and about 50 degrees.

No day below freezing in the forecast 😊 If I start my engine this will curse us and we’ll probably have icebergs ☹ I am dreading my electric bill, Maryland very unwisely turned off our coal fired power plants now in anticipation of solar cells and wind generators going up in the future. My *boat* bill was $79 for power and $82 for transporting the power from Pennsylvania and other states and the next bill is likely to be higher.
