Outside temperature: 0.1°Fahrenheit.
This was the sight greeting me when I woke up this morning.
We had a guy out to look at our furnace on Thursday. As we suspected, it isn't firing on all cylinders, which is why it can't heat the house to more than 68 degrees and almost never shuts off. Unfortunately, he won't have the piece he needs to fix it until sometime this week.
Currently, weather.com is forecasting our low tonight to be 3°; Monday night it will be 6°; and Tuesday night it will be 8°. Wednesday night's low will be a balmy 18°, but by Friday night the low will be back down to -1°. They aren't forecasting a day with a high temperature above freezing until January 12!
In short, I hope our furnace will be working better soon!
Oh man! First the Septic and now the heat, I hope your new year gets better after this!

At least the furnace is WORKING. Not well, and it's costing us $$$ since it almost never shuts off, but we're not freezing. In our old house 2 winters ago, the furnace stopped working entirely, and we spent a night or two in front of the fireplace. We haven't had to resort to that this time.
