  1. Looked nice before I went out today and the cold wind slapped me in the face.
  2. I had a forced warm air by oil furnace, I replaced with a forced warm air hybrid so it used electric very miserly unless it gets real cold, then it kicks into using oil, I used less oil than when I burned wood (oil is also for hot water heater) and the most my electric bill went up was still under $100. Of course it was a mild winter so not sure how it would do in a winter like 2015. Basically a hybrid is the same idea as the mini-splits but since I already have ducts I went that route.
  3. Geezus, that looks huge, what's the dimensions?
  4. I've been reading about issues with it and a lot of complaints from people who bought one.
  5. I needed to replace my heating/cooling system, I updated to a high efficiency system and with the rebate cost less than the regular one, I also paid about half of what I usually pay for heating.
  6. I only got to 52 with sprinkles on and off.
  7. I remember a St Patrick's day back in the 90s where we had snow changing to sleet the freezing rain and the roads were a skating rink.
  8. I have to do that next weekend, was busy today, I bet I have all of a thousand sticks and pinecones.
  9. Been cloudy here, was 45 when I left this morning, it's now 51 with intermittent sprinkles.
  10. 62 here so already ahead of yesterday.
  11. They should have done it by counties instead of states, some areas of New York get a lot more than the city area but they're just using an average. How is California not on the list?
  12. I was at 62 at 2pm, might have crept up another degree or two but no 70.
  13. I thought some of the automakers were doing that when they build a vehicle.
  14. Not for the person who lives in that house, they must have had to tunnel out.
  15. My lowest this year has been lower teens, never even hit single digits.
  16. They're a nice looking animal but so is a bobcat, and I wouldn't want either one in my yard near my pets.
  17. I live near a few hundred acres and hear a pack howling some nights, sometimes it sounds like a frenzy, probably caught a cat or whatever else they eat. Actually, saw a huge one cross the road and a small young one cross the road on a highway near me, damn things are everywhere.
  18. I'm not crazy about March snowstorms either, they're nice to have but with the sun angle the melting starts immediately. I prefer to start building a pack end of Dec beginning of Jan with additions in Feb, 2015 was good for that but I also like 2011.
  19. That's happened to two of my dogs over the years, I used peroxide, baking soda and dawn dishwashing detergent. Worked great except I couldn't get near her eyes so I used douche.
  20. It looks like a nice warm day from inside the house until you go out and get blasted by the cold wind.
  21. Was just in CT there were trash cans and all kinds of debris in the road.
  22. My sister's sump has been running for a week straight almost 24 hours a day.
