Hmmmm that’s definitely a gray area

Not for me. Using regular heat means getting an oil delivery. I’m not trying to get another delivery until the fall at this point. So if it gets cold a nice space heater will do the trick!

its 51 degrees in my house in the Poconos.  Heat is definitely going back on when i get up there.

It’s dumping. The snow is sitting like cement on top of my sail shade. Should have waited to put it up.

Solar Storm tonight.
Maybe Northern Lights visible after 3 am if clouds clear enough? 2-5 am peak 🤞

Woke up around 3:30, went outside and looked north. Pretty cool. blueish beams that sort of streaked from north to south and very bright. Wasn’t moving or anything like they see in Iceland or Alaska. Just a lit up sky when facing north only. Any other direction it was dark and I could simply see stars. Neat.

Got skunked, was up a bunch of times and checked. 4 am could se stars but when I checked the Aurora shifted west. My wife was on Facebook and people all over were posting pictures.

Sounds like you need a mini split heat pump. More efficient than oil.
