Temperatures are still down around 0 F. People in this area still without electricity - at least 4 or 5 households that we know personally - but the news reported around 100,000 households.
The kids invited some friends over.

Alas, in some regards, it is not much warmer here than their houses. I've electric heat, too many windows, and I'm using the emergency heat because of the amount of ice and snow inside the
heat pump. Once the temps rise over 40 degrees I can try to hurry the melting process along with some hot water.

But even then, this house never gets warm unless the outside temp is over 40.
