Speaking of cold weather. Our night time temperatures
for the past few days have been near -20�C and daytime at -10�C. My USMA
thermometer hanging on the window outside is showing -12�C at 12:45 h. It
isn't to bad if when the wind is blowing and you wear two layers of thermal
underwear.
I refuse to listen to the official broadcasts as they
would confuse me with their nonsense. when out-of-towners ask me how cold
it is, I give the the Celsius reading that I know. They never question it,
maybe just a WOW!! Maybe they think I am telling them
wind-chill.
They only problem is the price of natural has doubled since
last year, and it is expected to triple. It went from 0.15 $/m� now to 0.30 $/m�.
The November gas bill is 10 times higher then July/August. And November
wasn't as cold as December is now. The furnace starts every 10 min and
runs for about 5 min. Soon, we will have to live like Europeans, only heat
half the house and keep the setting at 18�C.
I keep the setting at 21�C now.
Anyone else experiencing similar?

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der
irrt�mlich glaubt frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved
then those who falsely believe they are free!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(1749-1832)
