Weather Ups and Downs

This morning the temperature was -36C with -48C windchill so it was a good day to work from home.  As the day went on the temperature was coming up but also the wind got stronger and gusting.  The temperatures were above zero in Alberta  and close to it in western Saskatchewan  so with the large temperature difference the wind is blowing some snow tonight.  We are supposed to be up to -4C tomorrow so these cold temperatures we had today are blowing through quickly.  

Now that the basement walls are down we just have bare concrete walls which have next to zero insulation value.  So with the cold weather our furnace is working overtime.  It will be "interesting" to see what our heating bills are like next month.

Chinook coming? I hear that it is in the +'s in AB. That is cold at -48 wind chill. You are lucky if the furnace can keep up, Stay warm
