Adjusting to the cold weather up north

I was born in addition to raised a southern girl.

I never say anything approaching snow or ice all through my youth in addition to teenage years.

When you only see snow on TV, it looks like a lot of fun; Now that I have moved up north I see that the reality of snow involves a lot more work! Making a snowman, or having a snowball fight, is constantly a lot of fun. What isn’t fun is shoveling the driveway so you can move the car, or leaving all the faucets dripping so that the water pipes don’t freeze in addition to burst. It surely has been an adjustment, but thankfully I have a superb heating idea so at least that isn’t a single of my worries. I am approaching the end of my first full Winter time up north, in addition to I am deeply thankful for the oil furnace in the basement. I was a bit worried at first, because this was the oldest oil furnace I had ever seen in my life; Coming from the south I wasn’t used to having a basement, nor had I encountered such a large, heavy oil furnace. This oil furnace is literally older than I am, in addition to yet it still runs amazingly well. The realtor told me that the oil furnace was so big it had been installed during the initial construction of the house! That means they installed the furnace, in addition to then built the home over the top of it. This oil furnace is so big it can’t ever be moved without causing major damage to the house, so I hope it keeps laboring for a long time.
