Yes, ours has been running full out, too. We have had over a week of
freezing temperatures. However, I keep reminding myself that this past
fall was unusually warm with very low power bills. January has made up
for any savings.

No I'm not OK. I'm sick of this crap. It's supposed to be in the 50's here. 
:-( I have a heat pump (sorry things) so anything below 28 and it's a 
struggle for it to keep up. My power bill is going to be $500. OK, enough 
whining. I'm fine. Just really irritable. The temps are supposed to go back 
up at the end of the week. 

I hope the citrus crops come through OK. I'm afraid they won't.

I remember the winter of 1951-52 when I was working at the Naval 
Station in Pensacola, Fla., that the temperature dropped to 8 degrees. 
That was cold! The hot water tank in the apartment I rented froze and 
burst. The pipes under the kitchen floor froze and burst, and when 
it warmed up the kitchen floor was flooded. The Naval Station sent 
people home because the buildings couldn't keep the heat up, but 
those of us who were sent home didn't have sufficient heat when we 
got there. My apartment was heated with one small gas fire unit. 
It was 7 degrees here last night, but believe me, we were much more 
comfortable than I was in Pensacola that winter.

anything like this either time I lived there... so there's something 
to be said for being west of the Rockies afterall.
