It’s as though with each passing winter, I get cut down just a bit more by the long, chilly winter period.
Our area gets piles of snow and ice throughout about a 5 month period.
The snow is the worst in January, February, March and April. This is a time that all you can do is get as cozy as possible inside the heating and A/C heat at home. I venture outside the heating and A/C comfort to shovel snow and keep us from not being able to get around. It has gone on this way all of our life. And recently, our partner and I had to make a decision on whether we were going to continue this way. Our youngsters are grown and we are at the retirement gate. So, did the two of us want to go to the warmth and daylight of the south? Or did it make more sense to be near our youngsters and grandkids? It was difficult but we chose to stay in the region for family. This meant that the two of us needed to make some changes. For example, we needed a smaller home and one that we could stay in for the duration. Part of that program was to have the sort of heating and A/C that would help moderate us better and more efficiently. The new location the two of us built did just that using geothermal heating and A/C. The radiant heat from the new heating and A/C is just bliss. Mostly because it comes from under the floors and radiant heat just feels so good. I think I’ll miss all that great, mild winter weather down south. But, I also think that I will spend the rest of our winter days in perfect heating and A/C comfort.
