We ran out of heating oil - I guess the whole region ran out? They filled it before the storm, though :)
OMG. Our provider warned that they might run out of gas but rescinded the warning. I am still terrified.

We’ve got plenty of cold, but not nearly the usual snowfall. Hardly any so far. Which bums me out. I did have to break down and get a new coat this year as I put on so much weight over the last year that the old one was too snug when zipped. Got a fur-trimmed hood on it. Good for wind. Thing is, I am rarely cold here. Usually too warm - which is not fun when I’m outside and my face is fucking frozen but the rest of me is sliding past toasty into *hot*. oops. sorry.
Fur is super good for wind, I’m actually sad I don’t have any on my current parka and was sort of shopping for some– can you get just… faux-fur and add it yourself?? I considered the concept that to really be ecological I should hunt coyotes myself and learn to preserve hides but, that’s a bit much even for me…

i just checked my phone weather app and it says “0 degrees, feels like -18” so that’s how this morning is going. every heater in my apartment is going and i’m still chilly
My phone app does not mention windchill but I’m not going to ask it either. :(
I put up some insulated drapes in the kitchen at least, and I have flannel sheets on binder clips over the doors I don’t use. (Little finish nails gently poked into the top of the trim hold up the binder clips.)
I’m real glad I don’t have to walk any distance or spend any time outside, that’s for damn sure.
