So Cold

Ma Nature is not helping at all with the heat pump installation. All of the ceiling vents were open to the outside today. I don't know if there was more inflow of cold air or outflow of woodstove heated air. I do know I sure felt the cold air going down my neck and my little computer desk heater was totally useless.

Kelly had a very tight squeeze into the cold attic above my office.The dogs alternated between watching it snow outside and trying to figure out what was going on above their heads.Poor John ended up with a plumber's crack full of snow.The guys left early. It was just too cold (and slippery). The good news is: because they quit early, one air handler is still working so we can circulate wood stove heat into the bathroom and bedroom. Once the air handler is off, we will have 2-3 days of heat only near the wood stove. All is white outside now and still snowing hard. We are expecting 3-6" snow tonight/tomorrow. If the guys couldn't come back to work tomorrow, had they disconnected the air handler, it would be even more days of total house coldness. Good news also is: 4 dogs to warm the bed.
