Hahha well there IS that blessing!

Right now it is coming straight out of the northwest from the direction of Alaska.

This is probably Onetimestar's fault!

She's is probably up there in Alaska snickering and laughing at us old geezer wimps!

Nah, I don't snicker at people being cold. I've been cold. It's miserable. I think you got some of our weather. We have been having an amazingly warm winter. It's only gotten to -20 a few times and we have had NO -30 or -40 at all! I'm still burning a ton of pellets a month at about $350. but only about 20 gallons of heating fuel a month ($50).

Try hanging some blankets over your windows and doors. The extra insulation helps, especially if you are having wind.
