So are others having their furnace keeping up today? We're sitting about 4° below the set temp. Wasn't sure whether this is what others are seeing or if I should be doing some investigations. Never remember having an issue with previous houses, but we were always pretty well protected from wind.
Ours is hanging in there. Our neighbor works for a heating and cooling company and his van is in the driveway. I think that means he’s on call but no one needs him at the moment. He was working on a friend of mine’s furnace at 6:30 this morning

I've had our thermostat set at 65 all day today despite the dirty looks my wife keeps giving me.

Older home and the NW wind just hammers it, my west wall thermometer(mainly decoration) was at 58 added another 5 degrees to the thermostat.
 
Do you people like being cold? My thermostat somewhere in the 70s, I have no idea what it’s at. Whatever is comfortable enough for me to walk around with no shirt on.

No but ours got looked at....Feb 21? 22? Think 22. Couple things fixed then. But NW facing bedroom where I work was cold. Made husband come confirm if it's actually cold or my fever spiking again. Answer is both. Had door closed for a meeting and that makes it cold. Plus a shade had a gap from kids pulling them up.
 
I agree and disagree. A second made about 10% more work. That part has felt manageable but we had a pretty tough time with sleep and other things with first.

And agree that 2 has nothing on 3-4. Mom friend called it ******* fours and yep. So sweet sometimes and others you are like I see how people lock kids in closets o_O
We’re the opposite; we have a 2 and almost 4 year old girls. The 4 year old is (and has been) a cakewalk compared to the 2 year old.

Our second made a huge difference in workload. Probably because the oldest, while stubborn is still pretty agreeable.

One of my investment brokers said the happiest thing about COVID being over for her was not having to look at so many peoples beds in the background.

Yeah the problem is that the salt is basically ineffective in these temps. The roads are going to suck for a few days.

That is exactly why places that get this cold on a regular basis don't waste time with salt in these temps........and throw down sand for traction.
 
Legit shocked nobody noticed the GFS, smoking its own socks again, was throwing up low to mid 60s in Des Moines and southern Iowa next Thursday.

Model fantasyland is quite the experience.


Didn't notice that, but read where the NWS out of Omaha in their 6-10 and 8-14 day forecast are saying there is a high chance of above normal temps.

So although it may not be 60's warm........Omaha is close enough to where if their NWS office get's theirs correct.......DSM and southern Iowa shouldn't be too far behind.
