I know! I was kinda shocked how stale their social media accounts are. I mean this is as far as I go for social media but I’d expect something on one of the platforms. Or even spice it up and do a live YouTube feed like the green comet (yes, I admit I was glued to that too)

If you have something euro, vw, Audi, I recommend German autowerks. After going to another shop and saying my car needed 3000 dollars worth of work for a sticker, went there and they were like lol nope you just need this 50 dollar part and your good.

Me too 😑 a few weeks ago the officials were saying the tournament might be cancelled due to the fact that Winnipesaukee wasn’t frozen enough to play on yet. Now it sounds like they’re going to cancel tomorrows games and the rest of the tournament. One of the players on my husbands team got minor frost bite on a few fingers (while using hand warmers) and all of them have wind burned chapped faces already….gatta love wasting all that money on new winter gear, travel & lodging just to have it get shut down. Oh! And the power in their air b n b went out too so they’re keeping warm at a restaurant right now. Sounds like a blast up there!

New car dealers are less likely to be sketchy than independent shops. Also, if they can’t make money servicing your car, you’re less likely to get a shady inspection.

I read something this morning that said it hasn't been this cold since 2016, but maybe they just meant the actual temperature because I don't think the windchill has been as low as they predict tonight will be since January 2000 when we had that bitterly cold MLK day.

I'm in a tiny rental house-built within the last 20 years and is pretty tight. 1K sq ft upstairs and it is heated by the wood stove only. It's a small all steel instead of cast iron stove, so it warms up quick but also drops off quick. It has electric heat as a backup that I set at 50 and it never comes on.

Edit to add, no circulation needed due to the layout of the house. The general theory with circulation is push the denser cold air towards the heated part.

The downstairs(house is on a slab so it's a garage) is another 1K sq ft with all the water stuff and laundry room. It is heated by electric garage heaters. Those heaters are crazy expensive to run.

Downstairs is set at 50 with the temp checked a few times a day, upstairs is whatever the woodstove feels like doing. See the above post of the guy at 91. With the exception of just before bed time, I try to keep it in the 70s but sometimes it gets nuts.

I'm having a 1400 sq ft house built in Coös County. The basement will be oil fired radiant heat in the floor. So will the main floor, but I plan on heating it with a wood stove and using oil as the backup. I have a Hearthstone Green Mountain 60 sitting at the dealer, waiting for my builder to be ready for it. I may need to use some sort of circulation to move heat around. I'll find out next winter.
