Sun up now and we are up to 0 and freezing. New downflow furnace (sm)

In Reply to: how's the weather? 20 below with windchill here. - nm

and seems like floors and botton 4 foot of room is cold. You have to stand up to really appreciate the warmth.

Needless to say we are checking with our furnace guy to see if there is anything we can do to help.

We put the furnace in the attic because we live in a flood zone and didn't want to breath air that went through flood contaminated duct work. Live and learn I guess. Not having that duct work in the crawl space does get you in the habit of wearing slippers.

I turned my furnace on a month ago!
I can't imagine letting it get that cold in the house!
That is cold. My furnace is broke...sm
Getting it repaired tomorrow. YAY! Freezing sucks! It has been in the 30s at night here in South MS and that is too cold for no heat. I do have the little electric space heaters though so that helps. Heat tomorrow finally!
I like to try freezing different things, too,
and like you, I don't like to throw out veggies, etc., that are still "good."

A couple of times, I have thawed ground meat then changed my mind about cooking it for dinner, so I just cook it until the pink is gone, cool it in the 'frig, then refreeze it, as I know it's not safe to refreeze thawed meat.

I've even frozen tomatoes from the garden (don't get a big crop to be able to can them, plus I'm lazy when it comes to canning...)knowing that (I've read) they'll only be good for use in sauces and stews upon thawing - but, hey, why not?
my hands are freezing. cant stand
typing with cold hands.  the smallest draft of cool air just kills my hands.  anyone with teh same prob?
We did OTC freezing and the wart bandaids. nm

Found out why my feet were freezing sm
I even bought a pair of wool socks yesterday and tried them out last night. No go under the desk. Anywhere else they felt fine. Checked for a draft under the desk and found none. Figured out today that all I had to do was lower my foot pedal (I have it up on a stool and blanket, was more comfortable that way about 4 months ago). I took the blanket off and pushed the pedal back about 6 inches so I have to stretch for it and voila!  No more cold feet. I must have been pushing neuropathy symptoms with my pedal in the other position. Feet have felt fine for the last 3 hours! 
ever try freezing the thin mints?

Missouri here and freezing my patootie off. (sm)
It is now almost up to zero. Have had water running in the bathroom just in case pipes might freeze. Type a while and then bury my fingers in the dog's fur to warm them. The thermostat says it is 72 in the house, but just bone-chilling cold.

Grandchildren at my house, 1/2 day of school. Fed them grilled cheese and tomato soup. Warms the soul as well as the body, doesn't it.

My prayers are with those who don't have sufficient heat, blankets, clothing and food to manage throught this cold streak.
Freezing in Upstate New York
With the wind chill it's below O. A lot of snow too. I still have no idea why I live here! LOL.
Totally freezing in upstate New York. sm
I live here because my daughter lives in Brooklyn and this way I get to see her about once a month. Moved from CA for it, but that might have been a bad idea. Every year I hate winter more. I HATE shoveling snow.
