Rest of USA---"colder than normal but overall a kinder and gentler winter than last year."
My little 200 year old cottage in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns. has 14" thick homemade brick walls that are so porous and a non-working, original kitchen fireplace. It rarely gets above 67° in here even with the heat pump running 24/7 if the temps are below 30° or so. I've learned to layer, wear shoes every minute (LOVE going barefoot!), and do my handquilting all winter in a hoop with the quilt spread over me. My bed has two quilts, one with a wool batting which I adore. It would be nice not to have FEET of snow this year as we did last year, which makes it impassable down my ½ mile gravel drive. 30 years of Texas living didn’t leave me well prepared for this!
