jvlgato Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Maybe just a plain old space heater. If you're worried about fires, the oil filled radiators with safety circuits are pretty safe (I think). We have one and have had good luck with it. It heats more slowly, but is good at maintaining a temperature, and I think are safer than the ones that glow red hot. http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-EW7707CM-Safeheat-ComforTemp-Oil-Filled/dp/B000TGDGLU/ref=pd_sbs_hg_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 our furnace quit working sometime last night, and our HVAC guy is apparently busy, so hasn't called back. I'm going to head home in 30 minutes so I can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbasement Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I hope it's easily fixed, Dan. Today is the last cold day, at -21 C. Tomorrow starts a week of forecast highs in the minus single digits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 It's pretty amazing that nature can produce something that would make you question whether or not it was natural like that. Makes Dusty happy. Of course, now I want Swedish meatballs or equivalent. Amazeballs! Literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Nice, Jacob. Here's to no ome slips, trips or falls. We got about 6" of very heavy, wet snow yesterday and it's snowing lightly again now. It looks pretty but I'm guessing it'll be a good sized pain in my ass later today.

Salt Peanuts Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 We were away this weekend and got home today to find several inches of nice, wet snow. Along with ~2 ft of ice/snow wall the town plows left in front of the driveway. Now I hear there's few more inches coming Tuesday night to Wednesday morning.

Salt Peanuts Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 ^ The first 3 winters here (this is our 6th winter here), whoever the town had hired to do our street always did a fantastic job of not leaving us with ice/snow wall in front of our driveway. In fact, if they saw us shoveling, they would often plow the snow out of the bottom ⅓ of our driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah, my old housemate had that sort of relationship with our plowdrivers, too...but you had to bribe them. Which I had no problem doing. But it was kind of extortion, because if you didn't bribe them, you were pretty much guaranteed. And it seemed like they'd wait until I was done first. Or maybe it just took them that long to get to our neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
