While the rest of the country is getting a lot of snow, we are getting a lot of rain. We did get two small amounts of snow in two weeks which led to some fun.
The first fun was that when I went downstairs on Sunday morning the house was cold. The oil pipes had frozen. Jeremy and his Dad tried everything to get that pipe thawed and even when the temperature got above freezing the heat didn't come on.
Thankfully, we have a propane insert in the fireplace for a backup heat source. It keeps the upstairs warm and keeps the worst of the chill off of the downstairs. We were still chilly though. I had three hoodies on and chai in hand while the children played outside.
At 10:30 that night Jeremy got the heat working and we all slept good and very much enjoyed hot showers the next morning!
The second round of snow and Isaiah went out in shorts, no coat, he did pull the hood of his hoodie up, mittens and boots. I seriously questioned his logic (and sanity). He lasted a lot longer out there than I thought he would. I had the hot chocolate ready when he came in.
