5 below zero

window-frost1

That’s what it was outside when I woke up this morning. 5 below zero. There was a thick layer of ice on the inside of all my windows from the condensation forming, then freezing overnight. The doggie door was wedged open about an inch from Sky going in and out on patrol. Frigid air was just pouring in. I turned on all the heaters to the low setting last night before I went to bed. It was about 50 degrees throughout the house this morning despite that fact. I blocked off Sky’s door with some cardbaord and cranked up the heat.

I made a cup of tea and started some home fries. I had to drink the tea quickly because within about 4 minutes, it was luke warm. It took about an hour of serious heat crankage to get the house to a balmy 66 degrees and we’re nearing 70 now. Outside, it just crested 6 degrees.

I like living in Pennsylvania but this part of winter is honestly one thing I could do without.
