Around here, about two weeks ago, we had an awful wind storm that knocked out power for a day, and I thought I'd freeze in just that short time, but our weather would have seemed like a Hawaiian vacation to what you've been experiencing. Glad you kept up the positive attitude to get you through, but it really must have been an ordeal.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-65715747688575987972021-02-11T22:54:23.378-06:002021-02-11T22:54:23.378-06:00Yay!

IT was not nearly as cold as you guys, but we had to wear our winter coats for 2 days while they got the electricity back up and running. Perhaps invest in a Coleman Stove/heater? Or a fireplace. Or better yet! Leave northern Minnesota for Florida! (My grandparents did... Florida during the winter is a grand time for a kid.)

You were a lot colder than us but when it reaches a certain temp there is not comparison. Got out in the cold to go to the doctor today. L.

So glad they were able to install the new furnace so quickly once it was located. <br /><br />My anscestors came to Nothern Ohio in the spring and worked hard to construct a log home before winter. I have the diary of a distant cousin, an eleven year old twin who helped build his families home. He and his brother slept in the loft that winter and he remembers waking up covered in snow from holes in the roof. Right now it is 19 degrees during the day, colder at night, but some years we never get above 0 in January and February. Our forefathers were much hardier than I!

We're on the very edge of the cold front so we feel it but at least it's above zero tonight and tomorrow night, barely. The floors in the RV are COLD and we have a skirt on. I don't know what all of the people here without proper winterizing are doing.<br />I'll look forward to the grocery adventures tomorrow.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-40449738975371963532021-02-11T12:24:16.062-06:002021-02-11T12:24:16.062-06:00Great relief to know that you have a furnace again...Great relief to know that you have a furnace again.
