It’s been so cold this winter. Last winter the temperatures were more spring like – honest, I’m not just waxing nostalgic.
I’m actually looking forward to the next few days because it’s going to be warmer out – close to zero Celsius and above zero for the first time all year. That’s nice when compared to the – 20 Celsius that we’ve been experiencing! I won’t mind seeing some melting snow either.
Inside the house we have two humidifiers. One small one upstairs and a large one on the main floor. We use them to help moisturize the air a little bit in the winter time otherwise the air would be extremely dry what with the furnace going on all the time.
We also have ceiling fans upstairs and on the main floor in a couple of the rooms. I think most of them are Hunter fans. In the summer we have the fans on all the time and the blades are going one direction (I can’t remember which direction they go right now) to help circulate and cool the air. In the winter we flip and switch on the fan and the fan blades go in the opposite direction and it actually helps circulate the warm air in the room so it helps us feel warmer.
At least it’s February and the ground hog saw it’s shadow … Spring is coming soon!
