Well my shower is frozen up. No shower for me!

My Monitor heater is set for 70. It normal just idles along maintaining that 70. But it is nearly going full blast to keep up.

0 when I left home. Bright sun, no wind, and woolen Depends made the wait for the bus tolerable.

YARMOUTH - More than 600 NStar customers in Yarmouth lost power and heat late Wednesday night on arguably the coldest night of the season. A failure of a transformer was apparently to blame. NStar crews were working to restore service as quickly as possible. The outage swelled to 1,700 customers at one point before being restored around 1 a.m. The temperature at nearby Barnstable Municipal Airport at the time was 9 degrees with a windchill of -2.

Out for 90 minutes last night. Not near me or Motel Happy as Hell on the Beach so no problem.

Thats what I like about having a Monitor heater. I have a 12volt high amp Marine battery and a 1200 power inverter that I can hook up to keep the heater going A VERY LOOOOONG time if the power goes out.

I'm at that age where each winter is notably less enjoyable and fear of snowbird status threatens. Shopping for property and this cold spell has me up late on Realtor.com looking at VA/MD's Delmarva Peninsula rather than Buzzard's Bay communities.

That and dog's not getting the level of exercise he's come to expect. We were out in -2F last night and took the 1/3mile woods loop rather than the usual mile. Won't break until Tues, predicts NOAA.

Apt living and miss my wood stove!

Save money on hair product: Wet hair, style as desired, step outside. Locked in place for hours.

You're not kidding! I had a pony-tail icicle hanging off the back of my head this morning. Froze solid in about 90 seconds.

I'm not finding it that bad. The house is cozy, work is overheated as usual, and I bought myself a Marmot coat on sale at EMS a few weeks ago that's proving to be well worth what I paid for it. Plus I like to say "Marmot".
