We woke up this morning to a very cold house because the boiler in the basement isn’t sending hot water to the radiators in all our rooms. Our heating contractor said he’d come by when he could, and it can’t be soon enough. Tim brought up a small space heater for my office, which helps a little, but I’ve been working on my computer with frozen fingers all morning. It was 8F when we got up, but it’s now gone up to 18F so at least not as bitterly cold.

Sorry for the old picture, taken on Sunday when the sleet was falling, but it looks pretty much the same today, except everything is covered in ice, not snow. We can’t get the car out of the carport since the ice is now impossible to break up, plus the alley is impassable anyway.
