We really have not had any measurable snow, trace amounts up to 2 inches. So in that respect we have been lucky considering that our neighboring states have been walloped. But this week the temperature is going to crash to single and negative digits, and that doesn't account for the wind chill factor.
I know that most of the country will be experiencing a similar situation. I feel your pain as I sit in a comfortable chair next to the door that allows streams of outside air to enter the apartment. The windows aren't much better. Yeah, counting my blessings that I am not homeless. But having to layer 2 pairs of socks then slippers, long underwear, and sweats is ridiculous. When the maintenance man addressed the draft issue 2 years ago he added a guard on the bottom of the door which actually increased the gap that runs the door seam up to the knob. Since he didn't see any light coming in he declared it fixed.
The front of my building, which faces the woods doesn't get much afternoon sun. In the morning you can see sunshine glowing through the gap. I'm going to call for him to come back. I like the dude, he normally does an awesome job.
But being a Popsicle is not my thing. I'd rather have snow than bitter cold and high winds. My electric bill is going to bury me. Stay warm everyone.
Miss my little buddy.
