With at least an inch of snow still on the ground from Thursday, and subfreezing temperatures, I don't think I'm living in Georgia! Houses here were NOT built for this (at least mine wasn't
 ) I am accepting any and all donations for my heating bills

Peaches, see that setting marked -40? We almost made it a few times in the last week here at night...
With the windchill, we were certainly there last night, and there wasn't hardly any wind! Enjoy it :-) Alex

My 2 heat sources haven't cut off in 24 hours and we have to leave the water dripping in faucets all night to keep the pipes from freezing.  We're going out hiking today  My female dog won't pee on the snow, so she goes under the decks and my male spends all his time trying to EAT the snow - brilliant  I have to say, last night, with the full moon shining down on the snow....it made it all worth while - absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

I know a lot of people in S. FL that don't have heating systems or fire places. Gets a little cool inside w/out them.It's like people in the south don't understand why people in Chicago die when it's 100 degrees - it's because there's no AC and the older people downtown are afraid to open the windows (those that live in places where the windows DO open). When homes aren't built for certain weather extremes, it ain't a picnic when they occur

Went skiing this morning and it was -10 degrees F on top of the mountain. Warmed up to a high of 8 today.

Peaches, I get a laugh every time I go into a "southern" house...
insulation would make them about 1000 times more effecient in the heat. Keep the cool air in, keep the warm air out. Even some reasonable r5 or r10 styrofoam sm stuff would be a huge improvement, as would making sure that things like windows and doors don't have drafts and gaps in them. Most people in the south just seem to whip an even bigger AC unit up there, and spend way more for electricity, rather than doing the basics. When cooler weather does come, things wouldn't suck so bad - and yourAC bill would be much lower the rest of the year :-) Alex

I suggest you guys invest in some space heaters too if ya don't have heat in your house cause I got a feeling this screwy weather ain't going anywhere soon. IMHO it's gonna be a regualr occurance for several years yet. A if it's gonna get REALLY cold overnight and you are worried about your pipes freezing turn on your fawcet to a steady trickle and let it run overnight. |

I'm in an even more unique situation living in a log house - there's not a whole lot I can do to the sides as far as insulation
If I can ever get my 100+ acres out in the wilderness, and build ANOTHER log cabin (which I DO love), it will be with MUCH thicker logs. Mine are fine for normal weather, but "abnormal" weather is when it gets tricky.Plus, it wasn't built as a full time home - the original owner built it as a 2nd home/cabin. The roof is pitched with no attic. The only way to add insulation to the roof would be to re-roof. Though I have to admit that it must be pretty decent as there was no snow melting on it. When we lived in Marietta, WITH an attic, snow would melt almost the second it hit the roof, the house was so poorly insulated. I have a heat pump, but if I decide to keep the house full time, I'll probably do what Wig has and have a propane central heater kick on when it hits below 34. I have an auxilary space heater downstairs that's propane and the propane gas logs, so that helps - especially a week ago when it was 30 and the electricity went out It helps that I'm hot natured - I keep the thermostat around 60-62 any way

Miami, FL. How cold is it here? 36 degrees. Only 8 degrees warmer than the coldest temperature ever recorded here. It's like the "end times" to a Floridian. Hell has frozen over.
Can't wait until Thursday when the expected high is back to 77.

I just stepped outside (in my shorts).
It's not nearly as cold feeling as I thought it would be. I remember being in Minneapolis for a Super Bowl. It was so cold there the water in my eyes froze. In Minneapolis they have heated enclosed walkways to get around the city.
