It is cold. It is mid-December cold, in mid-October. As much as I enjoy a nice cold, snowy winter, this is ridickerous.
Worse yet: we were led to believe that our new house had a full tank of oil, enough to last 2 or 3 months, as we have a double tank totalling about 550 gallons. That was incorrect by a factor of, say, 10000%, since we ran the heat for one night and are now out of oil. On the coldest night of the autumn so far.
How cold was it? When I got up this morning, the temperature in the house was 56 degrees. Survivable, but still insane. Burns and McBride are supposedly coming today to deliver oil; if they aren’t there by noon I plan to start making calls.
Just as a side comment: when people say things like “Global warming my ass! It’s 40 degrees in October!” are we just allowed to scream “STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE!!! LOOK IT UP, DOUCHENOZZLE!” at them until they cry? I say yes.
