Oh, the Weather Outside ...

This past week or so has been bitterly cold.  Truthfully, those of you who live in colder areas would laugh when I tell you it's in the 20's and 30's (Fahrenheit), but try getting by without central heat and air!  Locals are masterful at making do without heat.  They layer, bundle up, and snuggle up with hot water bottles.  My office mates boast their electric bill never goes over $20.  They are shocked that our bill is over $100.  I guess I'll just keep that to myself!
