Sure not missing Chicago weather...

We survived it, my wife works for the county government and they closed for 2 1/2 days, so we got our basement project almost done. I heat my house primarily with wood pellets/corn with propane as a back up. Wednesday night the pellets bridged up in the hopper so nothing flowed into the auger to feed the furnace. I woke up at 4 am because I was cold. Discovered the house was 62 degrees inside. I quickly was able to knock the pellets loose so they would flow again, but with -15 and a wind chill around -35 it took a while to bring the house temp back up.
Not as bad as the winter of 95 when I lived in Michigan’s upper peninsula......5 days no heat, no power, extreme cold. We had nowhere to go except plug in my portable generator to power a few lights and the microwave. Luckily I had a propane heater and several tanks to keep us a little bit from freezing. When the power came on I had 11 broken water pipes to fix...... then decided to move 300 miles south

Four more years and Judy retires, then we can become snowbirds!

Minus 30’s two days ago, Sunday maybe 60. Old saying “. Just wait and it will change.” Well, I can’t wait for the change,

I am 100 miles from Chicago. There is actually an upside to it being -50°. It keeps MOST of the criminals inside too.

I came out of Home Depot today and thought "man it's warm" and took off my heavy jacket. Got to the truck and the outside temp was 4 degrees. The sun is out and shining bright and the fact that there is no wind sure made it feel warm.
