So Hook, what were the temperatures like up there on Lake Superior?
During the great Arctic freeze we had here in the East a month ago, -even all the way down here in the Toronto area it was often -20C / -4F for the day's HIGH temperature. The wind out of the west was STRONG, and stripped the heat right out of this old house. I have an oil furnace and a natural gas insert in the fireplace. So all 3 bills for gas, oil, and electricity (I had the coils on the stove going often for some heat in the kitchen) were high. I set a monthly record I think, on the gas bill.

Were you able to go outside at all?
