Cold

It is 12* F here, with negative wind chills. Nobody here has clothes for this kind of weather. The kids will be standing outside waiting for busses in this. I have no clue if the used car we bought before Christmas, the only one currently working, will even start at this temperature. My house is heated with a heat pump, as are most down here, and the "emergency heat" was running this morning. That'll nearly double my bill in the three days this is supposed to last.

The school systems immediately to the north of the county where I teach have delayed or cancelled school. School systems to the south have delayed or cancelled as well. My ststem has plenty of weather days, and we would not have to make it up, and we're still scheduled to go in on time.

Go figure.

Your emergency heat should not be on unless your regular unit has quit. You should be able to control it on your thermostat. Hope that will save you some $$. Lavinia
