kevin_standlee: (Snow Day)
[personal profile] kevin_standlee
A few days ago, it got so warm that I had the windows open to try and air out the house. Yesterday it was very windy, and as usually the case, that was the sign that a storm was coming. The storm dropped enough snow in the Sierra that chain controls were up for a while, and there was some light snow on the Virginia-Pah Rah mountains to the west of Fernley. (Most of it melted by mid-day.) It got cold enough here that to keep my fingers from freezing, I re-lit the fireplace. I might have been able to get by with just the electric heat, but I had a bunch of cardboard boxes that I needed to dispose of anyway, so I cut them up and burned them as well. It was so warm this past weekend that I was about to move the small amount of firewood on the porch out to the main wood box, but now I'm glad I didn't, because I would have just had to bring the logs back up to the fireplace.

I don't expect this cold snap to last long, and soon I'll start having to think about getting the swamp cooler out and ready to start running again.
