Yea; Debbie and I are glad we're in Florida, for the moment. It seems this winter is colder than the last few winters, doesn't it?

Recent winters have at least one week of frigid temperatures. We've had our cold week and can hope there won't be another (but I wouldn't bet money on it). There was one morning on which the temperature in our living room was 51∘ F. In September we replaced one of our baseboard radiators with a cast iron one to increase the heat, but it looks like we should have installed an even larger one (on our To Do list for the summer).
