I'm not ready for winter either! According to the Farmer's Almanac it's going to be another bad one. I have heated pretty much with wood for the last 19 years (propane backup). This past year I replaced my system with geothermal and am hoping that it makes life easier for me! I cannot afford to heat with the propane prices that keep going up and I'm getting too old to cut and split wood for the winter and then haul it in the house.
