What's your Weather like today

[Jacob Petersheim]

Cold here, mid-20s (F) and hard ice over nearly every bit of pavement. A little dicey getting to the pharmacy, but no serious traffic woes. About the same tomorrow, but after that we get cold.

What we have is a natural gas wall mounted heater, @Marie Mallory . It is not a space heater, at least what I think of as a space heater. The houses around us all have them, because they are old and used to have the floor furnace years ago, just like our house did.
The central heating and air has not worked in this house for several years now, and we have tried to keep warm using those little electric floor heaters, which are not safe to let run overnight.
Bobby installed the gas heater about a year ago, and it has worked really well. This picture from amazon is exactly what we have. It can work with an electric fan or with the fan turned off.

The ones I dealt with were not so nice. I think mine were from the 1970s. That looks great @Yvonne Smith. We replaced ours with something called a Gaspack or some such ( I never saw it written). It heated with gas and cooled with electricity. It made life in South Georgia much more pleasant.

Well, it is zero this morning. Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be below zero but then it it is supposed to warm to the 30's mid week.
?????
January thaw early?

We are supposed to be down in the teens overnight by this weekend also, but warming back up by mid-week. I am hoping that it is not going to last any longer than that. We already had enough cold to kill most of the unwanted outside bugs, and I am ready for spring to start, just any day now would be fine.
Bobby has already been talking about the swimming pool for next summer, and I take that as a maybe good sign.

So far, it is pretty outside and sunshine, but still cold.

We need it to get a LOT colder to rid of us next season bugs.

Mary I'm not sure I could take that kind of cold anymore.
I just found out yesterday after google search I have a new ailment, called Raynards Syndrome., my fingers and toes get really cold and turn white. Then they hurt until I thaw them out under got running water or keep rubbing them, then sit on them if no water available.

That is really tough on folks who have that up here.

Can you get a bag of 'hot hands' on amazon? You can put them in your gardening gloves if you don't have winter gloves. They are little pillows that get warm when exposed to air. I use them up her when it gets below zero to keep my fingers warm.
