It's weird I should read your post today!
Just last night before bed the newscasters
were saying that this winter is supposed to
be even more cold and with more snow than
last winter - and I live in the 'burbs near Philly,
where we had -30 windchill off/on for WEEKS!
Our heating bill for natural gas alone was over $700!!!!
And that was for only Jan, Feb, & March,
not including the electric bill to keep the heater running!
DH & I are now in the process of doing some
work to prevent such high heating bills if
the forecasters are correct - it KILLED us financially
because there was no way to plan for TRIPLE
utilities after paying for an adoption...
So there's my $$$ sob story, thanks for listening
Let's pray that we only get a "normal" winter??
