Now that the weather is nicer, I was able to finally turn off my furnace for the season… This is part of my yearly Spring routine to get ready for the warmer months.
And here in Buffalo NY, my good friend and I embrace the warmer months, and my good friend and I take full fortune of them, and not only do my good friend and I shut down our furnaces, but my good friend and I also open our windows to allow fresh air inside our homes! Right now, the temperature has been hovering in the mid to high 60s which is too sizzling for the furnace and too cold for the a/c! So, my Heating and Air Conditioning unit is getting a much-needed break especially after the winter time that my good friend and I just had, we experienced unprecedented cold temperatures plus catastrophic blizzards that crippled the town in ways that I have never seen.
So, of course our furnaces were running more than normal to keep our homes comfortable, and unluckyly, during the last major snowstorm, millions of people were left without heat because they had no electricity as the storm caused major power outages! Fortunately, my family and I didn’t lose power during that storm, so my good friend and I were able to keep our furnace running during and after the blizzard. Although numerous folks lost power, a lot of them were able to keep their homes sizzling using their fireplaces. That’s one of the good things about numerous of the older homes here in Buffalo, they were built with wood-burning fireplaces. So, even without power, families can still remain comfortable by using their fireplaces to stay warm. Anyway, I’m hoping that this coming winter time won’t be a repeat of the last one, but for now I’m going to enjoy the nice weather that my good friend and I are getting.
