radio_flyer,

I understand about the heat pump's.....they are a pain.....not only that but they are expensive to run then the temps outside are in the 20's & below when it's necessary to run the emergency heating.....all those heat strips gobble up the electricity & drive up the electric bill......I can't afford to pay my electric bill in the winter.

We have had a very cold winter here in KY this year.....I haven't been using my heat pump to keep my house over 50.....just need to keep my pipes from freezing. I moved upstairs into the one room that has a separate heater & then I use my single room heaters to keep myself warm in the room I am living in (my master bedroom). Having come from California where the heating costs are nothing compared to this.....it really hurts.

I love the snow we get though.....it's so beautiful.....guess the tradeoff is worth it in the long run. Wind & blowing snow right now....temp around 32F.....going to be beautiful white in the morning as I looked out on my front porch light lit yard with the white blanket of snow on it.

Yoda, I am sure that our storm is heading your way.
