Coldest Day of the Year

Weather forecasters are calling for a high of -18C today, but with the windchill it will feel more like around -30C. Of course, being the coldest day of the year (so far) means that our furnace has decided to go on strike. Perhaps it is too cold, or maybe our furnace is trying to tell us off because we didn't get it tuned up in the fall, either way a sensor is being wonky. We have phoned the 'furnace guys' who checked it out 14 months ago but we are still waiting to hear back from them. Luckily it has been working since 11am and here's hoping it will continue through the night. Now our Arizona spring training trip can't arrive soon enough. Oh, to be in the desert at this very moment. Visions of cacti will be in my dreams tonight.
