I have discovered that there are different levels of cold.
There are cold nights in my beach town where you need to wear a thick sweater under a light coat, and there are cold nights up on the mountain where you need very heavy clothing under a large ski jacket and gloves.
My nose is still cold as a result of being outside for a little too long today. I had a lot of fun sledding down the mountain today, but wow was it cold! After we came in and looked at the thermometer, we turned on the space heaters in each room as well as started a fire in the fireplace. The cabin is now 30F with the fireplace burning and the space heaters on in every room. For now, we’re wearing our ski jackets until the temperature reaches 55 degrees. I think we’ll be warm within an hour or two. Although I like cold weather, having to rely on central heating and fires all of the time can be expensive. In my beach town, I don’t have to run the heat very often, except on really cold nights. Our furnace can heat up the flat within about 15 minutes, a far cry from the crazy cold nights we have here in the mountain cabin. After I grab a cup of tea, I will finish my HVAC technology articles.
