You might want to upgrade to a snow plow. I started my first winter here with a snowblower and it gets old very quickly when you get into those 2" of snow every day patterns.
If we could keep the winters we usually get (at least snow wise, I don't care for the -35s) but couple them with summers like this, my location would be heaven
Get one of those floor standing portable ones. They've gotten good. Or if you can afford it, mini splits are the way to go and there are state rebates for energy efficiency
These temperature swings are crazy. 44 to 89 - exactly 45 degree swing, and in less than 4 hours we are already lost well over 20 degrees and it's down to 62. Chilly - hot - chilly. Just about perfect weather lol
Same here. 86 for a high after a low of 40 and already down to 61. But I still keep the AC on all the time - it just switches on when needed. Too lazy to open and close windows... (I know, that's sad)
Logs do seem to hold an insane amount of heat. Not a bad thing in our climate. I'm trying to grow tomatoes next to a South facing log wall, maybe I'll get something this time!
We can't really grow tomatoes here, but my new house has a wall of dark logs facing south under an awning that could be a great microclimate so I'm trying to see what happens. These 16" logs retain a tremendous amount of heat
