Thanks to all who looked and commented. It was nice to read your funny comments in the break between taking care of the house heater in the middle of the unusually cold wave (17F/ -8C).
Apparently, this cold wave has frozen some power generators in TX, causing shortness of the electric power in Texas. "The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)" decided to do "rolling blackout" - where they'd switch off the power for 15-20 minutes in each area, thus decreasing the demand for the power. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/02/us-ercot-rollingblackots-idUSTRE7116ZH20110202 This shutdown caused overheating of the furnace and one of the heat sensors/switches being stuck in a open state, not allowing the furnace to restart. A 1.5kW space heater was barely able to keep the temperature in the Texas-size bedroom. Finally, today the heater is fixed (as they are expecting snow tonight, and the same cold night), and I might even find a moment and energy to submit a photo for the February PUG, if it is not too late...
