It was -22°F This morning when I got out of bed. That's nature's way of telling me to stay in bed.

OMG it's really cool. Is your home warm enough in this cold weather?

Posted via D.Buzz

It's warm enough, nobody's health is threatened, and the pipes aren't going to freeze. It isn't exactly comfortable though, because I'm too cheap to burn more kerosene. I have a rocket stove that I can fire up if things get more dangerously cold, but right now it needs a little patching so it makes the house a little smoky.

Which country do you live in? Do you use natural gas and combi boilers there?

I live in the USA, in the Southern Tier region of New York State. Some of the newer, more expensive homes in the area have systems like that combined with radiant floor heating. I have a natural gas forced air furnace in the home, but it's kind of sketchy and costs about twice as much as the kerosene (in a good year) to run. I eventually hope to heat the whole house with my rocket stove, but it still needs a season or two of adaptations built on to it. Part of that adaptation will be using the rocket stove as a combination hot water/heating system.

For right now, I have one kerosene heater going all the time in the basement, and small electric heaters in the rooms that we want to make a little cozier once in a while.

It's technology's way of telling you get a new thermometer.

I don't need a thermometer with temps that low. Until I checked my phone, I thought it was merely a balmy -15!

You left out the part about you thought it was -15. That's different.

I actually made that part up. I can't really see the outside thermometers unless I go outside, because the windows are completely covered in ice. I just want to believe that I wouldn't have bought a thermometer with numbers lower than -15... it's just too depressing.

In the words of Judge Judy:

UH-Move!

I am moving... I haven't stopped shivering since I looked at the thermometer!

I hate winter although I haven't experienced weather under 5c 😀 what about -22 , oh my good but one day I wish experience the snow atmosphere.

At this temp, even the snow is just ice!
