That's all not including the windchill factor which makes it all a whole lot colder.

I think if one was to compare, it would cost more to heat with wood than natural gas. Not only that but, I can be gone for a couple days, leave the house empty and with gas heat, not have to have someone stop by and stoke the fire regularly to keep the house from freezing up. I just turn the thermostat down a few degrees and pray the heater doesn't conk out while I'm away.....lol

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians. I hope you have a good one!
Just a regular ole day here in Nova Scotia, we don't get as excited here in the Maritimes about Canadian "Thanksgiving" as the rest of you. Was thinking about taking a day trip to the Glennora Distillery but I had too much to do today. Besides, too many tourists on the roads getting in their last days of driving for no apparent reason so you can count me out.
