It just seems kind of funny. But we're also on Day 2687B of rain and cold weather so things are becoming either amusing or tragic at this point. I'm not sure any of us can trust my judgement right now. Lol.

Well, at least you aren't in Texas.  We're at 13 degrees and I haven't had power since 5:15 this morning.  They were supposed to be doing 'rolling blackouts' that lasted 15-60 minutes.  We're over 9 hours now.  This is [BLEEP] ridiculous.  I must have good insulation in the house. We're still at 60 degrees.

Yeah, I feel for you guys. It's a craptastic situation all around. If we were in those temps with no electricity in our mobile home we'd be screwed. It was bad enough back in winter 2017/18 when we had a frigid winter and a nearly month long span of daytime temps that never reached above freezing due to wind chill. Heat pumps don't work so well in those temperatures and I was reminded why northern homes have furnaces. 

Funny thing is, we don't raise our thermostat above 62-63° during the day so our house is at about 63-64° but those 3-4° make a big difference.
