I'm not qualified to talk about other forms of heating. Almost everybody in my city of 32,000 uses a forced air gas furnace. The first gas well was located not far from here.

My pipes are comfy in my basement. I don't bother to heat it but while the furnace and blower make the rest of my abode a paradise, it keeps the cellar about 50 degrees. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

WOW Pat. As much as I hate snow, that picture of your house is absolutely gorgeous.

Just FYI Linda, that photo is from last year when we had 120 inches of snow (not all at once, needless to say). Right now we only have 7 inches on the ground but it's just as pretty (and there's more on the way tonight).

And that's my neighbor's house. It's my patio on which I'm standing, looking out over my backyard. We used to have to shovel pathways for our short legged dog to go do his business in the yard. He's gone now, so no more tunnels.

Basement, insulated and heated. No storm here yet today, but we are not out of the woods with this one at all!

My buddy just sent me this pic of a prototype snow bike. Now this baby has some possibilities for sure! Wink

Trouble is that the area is so far back in the stone age, they don't have plows or salt. One inch of snow shuts the towns down till it melts. Here in Wisconsin 1 inch isn't even plowed.

But it's true, we don't handle snow near as well down here as you guys do up there.

When I was in S. Ill, Carbondale area Christmas 2001, there were roses blooming on the bushes on Christmas day.

2002 Christmas was an ice storm that shut the town down for a week. I was dedicated as the one to drive everywhere that winter because I was the only one who knew how to manouver a car in that weather.

Linda, it's better to live in an area where winters are relitively mild, than live up here if you are unsure of navigating crazy frozen roads.

On a different note, It's never gotten so freaken hot up here that sections of highway have exploded due to the expansion of the rebar under the asphalt...that was wicked nasty shit.

I spent 2 yrs. in Spokane, Washington where winters were pretty harsh and it seemed to me that it no longer melted off and it would snow again for days on end. Had to put snow tires on my Merc. and had to learn how to drive in that white stuff.

Mastiff who lives on the Western side of Washington, near Seattle called me a wuss. Or was that a wimp. I forget now. But I did learn how to navigate and live in the stuff, so I should be all right in KY

Reply #40 - Dec 5^th, 2008 at 9:59pm I had frost on my windshield one morning and I looked at it for a second. Tried to figure out what it was. Then I went in the car, turned the defroster on high, and five seconds later it was gone. Whew. Almost had to get the credit card scraper out. That's scary. No ice and snow for me, thanks.

I still want to know who designed the highways down there that they can melt and explode in the heat?

Right damn in front of a driver...(I don't WANT to know what would happen if it went UNDER a car)

The summer 2002 there was 18 highway asphalt explosions between Carbondale and Marion Il in 2 weeks.

Who builds these roads anyway?

oh, uh... yeah. Just those nice sharing Canadians once in a while sweeping in airily on a pretty sailboat through the extended Great Lakes region. Catchy American local tradition has made it customary to greet them all bundled with the seasonal attire of an Arctic explorer.
