Last night I cuddled up on the couch with my husband and a big blanket, and I was still cold. My house was heated; the thermostat was set to 70* (though I maintain that the only place in the house that gets to that temperature is on the stairs, where the thermostat resides).
As I tried to warm my nose by cupping my hand over it and my mouth, and breathing out warm air into the small space, I thought, (and said) "Tomorrow's gonna suck. If I'm this cold now, it's going to be horrible tomorrow night without the furnace."
That's right! It's just past 3:00 in the afternoon! Time to have the heat turned off! Time to put the fluffy socks on, and layer up.
I really haven't done much (okay, anything) to really prepare for today, even though I've known it was coming. We have the blankets we've always had, the lack of heating we've always had, and nothing has really changed.
But, the forecast is pretty good! Right now my weather app says it's 45* outside. That's pretty good. Tonight it's only supposed to get down to 27*. We'll be okay. At least we aren't dealing with the weather of 2 weeks ago!
Well, good luck, everybody! Let us know how it goes!
