Dang near close. We certainly had some equally cold days 20-30 years ago. I’ve seen -20 a few times at most though

Already did. Old radiators and my apartment is about 20 F. Cat is cold and I'm wearing two jackets. There really isn't much of your advice I can take.

Friendly reminder. Building codes are a floor, not a ceiling. If you're installer doesn't exceed code then you need a new installer. Ditto for anything involving you're house.

It was -17° in Winchendon this morning. That was the temp not including windchill. While it gets cold every year, and sometimes for longer stretches. Negative single digits hurts but isn’t uncommon. Below -10° and now that’s scraping the bottom. This feels like the the coldest I’ve seen since at least 2004. They closed down the schools for a “cold day” with windchills at -40°. I don’t remember the actual temp but it was “negative something”

These kinds of jokes are usually only funny to like 60+ year olds because they don't actually have to deal with consequences and got to live in the golden age of America

We rent so cant do some of that unfortunately. Our friend in hvac said theres not much to do as its gas heat and supply is limited. The house is unmaintained and minimal insulation plus second floor with nothing buffering the wind. We lived but it sucked lol

Agreed! Winter of 2017-2018 had a weeks long stretch of single digit weather. That was BRUTAL. This is easily the coldest a lot of us have ever experienced, but it’s so incredibly short lived.

you add a small fan. Placed up high to push heat into the kitchen. You don't need a big fan, once the flow sets up it should even out the temps.

My granddaughter is 7 and she does half-years, I’m 78 and started using them again, bragging about surviving 😀

It mean yield to traffic and go when its clear. After a while they stop on coming traffic and turn green. Sometimes traffic is so heavy youd never be able to turn with just a blinking yellow. I've seen them in multiple towns and cities all over western mass
