Warm January weather brings… rain. Which I guess is a good thing, because it keeps things from getting too dried out, but I would rather have snow then rain in the winter. Snow is much more pretty, even if it screws up people’s commutes and makes delays of everything.

You can’t really control the weather. At least after the cold snap, we are saving on heating. I turned off the heat yesterday morning, and it hasn’t been on since. I figure if it’s above freezing, there is no need for heat – I can just turn on the baseboard electric heat temporarily if I get chilly when home.

That said, it sure would be nice to live an well insulated building, that was heated by wood, that I could cut myself and not have to send so much money every month to some fossil fuel company that is fracking the energy from a distant location.
