Jay...3 is a heat wave...

Here it's Minus 4 on the outside thermometer as I type...

All I know is that I am freezing my sorry azz off here this morning and no amount of hot tea has been able to take away the chill! This is when I miss having a job (and a nice warm workplace) the most.
Making matters worse, the wind howled all night long and so many branches fell onto my power wires last night that I thought my lines were coming down. Had to get up four times just to make sure the power was still on and that my wires weren't laying across the road.

I would kill for a little bit of Global Warming today... but the TV guy says I have to wait until Wednesday.

Sounds like your new roof didn't have enough time and high temperature to "seal" properly.

I hope this is not a problem for you all winter!

This is when a wood stove is nice. There is no substitute for that kind of up front and personal heat warming the old bones on a frigid day like this. Even though my heating costs are well under control this winter (and should remain that way), on days like this a nifty wood stove would be awfully darn nice!
