It's not snowing or raining here, although it is a chilly 65

There has been snow in the mountains for a while now- it's the lower elevations that are getting hit now for the first time.

the weather outside is frightful!

getting caught unprepared in the snow is dangerous.

i certainly hope you plan to stay safe at home and enjoy your 4 to 6 inches...and perhaps up to 8 if your lucky.

We had a brief break in the weather, but now it's pouring snow again. With accumulation. Ish.

I'm sitting with my Air-Conditioner running on full.

This year, I am thankful for living in a state where AC was necessary in November.

So... what's the temperature going to be like in March ?!?!?!?

The weather here is....perfect.

Perhaps that's why my condo cost as much as a mansion would elsewhere.

Susan takes care of the monthly bills. (It is part of our plan to share the money responsibilities 50/50: I make it and she spends it.)

I just found out that our monthly electric bill is $150. There are only the two of us in a small condo. Bottom floor (I don't think the AC has run in a while). Our appliances (where applicable) are gas.

So what causes such an outrageously high electric bill? 12 bearded dragons in six separate terrariums, each with a flousecent UV bulb and an incandescent haet lamp - the latter being 100 watt in all but one terrarium (which has a 60 watt). These run 14 hours per day (although I am overdue to back the time down to 12 hours).

Ouch.

Refridgerators are the usual suspect in high electricity bill, heat lamps, and other appliances can contribute as well but keeping the old fridge/freezer in the garage usually doubles the bill
