I know the last couple of years or so have been the exception to the rule and we have had quite a dollop of snow down here, I still am surprised to see any of the white stuff.
So even though we don't actually have snow, it still becomes very cold here. The temperatures are well down almost in a minus range. So I've had to light a coal fire for the last 5 days. I do love the open fire, but it is a bind having to riddle it every morning and getting rid of the ashes, only to re-lay it again.
I took these photos just now to show you how cosy and welcoming it is. The rest of the house is cold but my lounge is nice and warm. Sometimes I wish I had central heating, but it's very impersonal isn't it?
we have snow
Central heating thermostat controlled is the thing, cost varies according to the fuel used, mine comes from a "Hot water factory" remote furnace , is fueled by non CO2 produing waste from the timber industry.
I maintain a constant 23 C indoors throughout the winter in all rooms.
Open fires do look cosy though.
This week is particularly cold.. Today's high was 0 C.. The rest of the week the day is supposed to be -4 C and nights -11 C.. And we had a tad of snow today with more expected by end of the week... Blah!
