Air temperature 6 F at the airport, wind southwest 4 mph, partly cloudy with waning crescent moon. Feels like -2 F, on a morning when we'll have the main heating shut down for a couple of hours. Needed maintenance that got deferred because the guy we scheduled back in September never showed . . .

We do have heat pumps and an electric space heater in the basement, all of which are engaged and waiting.
