    Got an "Emergency Alert" on the phone about 1/2 hr ago. Says that Consumers Energy is asking everyone to turn down their stat to 65 through Friday.
    Hmmm, don't have Consumers here. I'll just start another fire instead. :dex:

    We had something similar last Friday the power company wanted everyone to turn their thermostats up on their AC. it seems we have similar problems at opposite extremes.

    We got three of those today for a snow squall warning. Every time the phone went off they kept moving the time ahead. When it hit we wound up with less than an inch. They had everybody freaking out.

    I got that too, first time I've ever seen an alert for a squall.

    We got down to 3F overnight. Coldest I've ever seen was -21F in northern Maine once, with absolutely no wind. I cant imagine adding good wind to that!

    -2° at the moment. The stove got cold during the night and the oil burner kicked on at 5am. Got wood in the stove for a restart and it should get the furnace to kick off soon.

    I hate to say how warm it is this morning. A bit windy as well. I think we are heading for colder weather over the weekend. Two days left of the week for work.

    Thanks Al :) I'll do my best. He's getting over his flu, felt good enough to leave this for me 4 times in 7 days. How is that possible for one adult & one child?

    Yeah, lots of folks got that one. Had a fire in one of their facilities I guess.

    Yes, turn the thermostat down. Ha! :rofl: :lol: I just laughed and threw another log on the fire.

    Yep, sleepin' in ye old FT is bound to make ya' chilly.:whistle::D
    So, I set the stat at 66-67 or so and let it run before I get up when it's this cold. Been doing that for the past 3-4 years, and I sleep much gooder. Last couple mornings seemed a bit cool though at that setting.
