It has been cold.
We got down to 21.
The house has been great. We have temp sensors around and the house attic has stayed around 70 degrees (!) even as it's almost teens outside.
We got sleet, ice and snow flurries. This was the radar Sunday morning. We were right in the middle of it.
Monday, all schools were closed, and most businesses (my office included) had people work from home.
We had ice all over everything. The roof and the driveway were covered.
As were the trees and bushes.
The screen door to the back porch was solid ice from the rain that hit it and froze.
We had some icicles over the back door and when I went out to check the well house, I shut the door...
...and one fell off and hit me in the head. Glad it was melting and not sharp and of course also glad that it didn't fall from two or three stories up, ha.
We had a light dusting of snow that didn't last long. But it sure looked pretty.
Last night was another cold night and after a slight warmup the rest of this week, we will have another one this coming weekend and another chance of snow!
A nice snug home! Perfect for this weather.
ReplyDeleteI got 17” of 'pretty'. Now in the 0-5* range. Ohio in for the deep freeze and more flurries as a couple of clippers head our way. Glad the new digs keep you cozy. Kris in Ohio
ReplyDeleteHere in Iowa we bottomed out with a windchill temperature of -41°! We are all so lucky to have fully insulated, furnace warmed, cozy, comfy homes. You wonder how the Indians and pioneers ever survived it.
ReplyDeleteYour house was constructed very well. Even your attic didn’t get cold. Your house passed the freezing weather test with flying colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful you could work from home. No one should have to go out on icy roads.

I don't think I would like to live somewhere it gets that cold
