* I bought a second heater to be nice and toasty and bank heat in case of an outage... so why is it cold in here? Not super cold, but enough to bother my hands? (Or maybe that is super-cold for indoor weather and my ability to judge such things in any sane way is permanently broken from how I grew up). Anyway, yeah, glad I bought the second one or else life might suck right now. After the cold snap we are getting an ice storm so we aren't out of the woods yet.
It only got to about 18 degrees, but the weather service just reported -14 wind chill and I'm in a building that sits higher than those around me, so wind just sucks the heat out of here. I had to put a heater by the front door so it would open and close properly when I did my grocery run to stock up.
* I'd initially planned to be out and doing things yesterday. I should probably have gone out anyway, but this city does get transportation problems in severe weather and the things I was going to do were all the way in St. John. Logically, going wasn't that big a risk, it was within my typical risk tolerance. But it's the holidays and I am stressed so I got a little spooked. Just didn't want to deal with even a tiny chance of getting stuck somewhere.
