It's cold in here

The fire in the boiler apparently didn't catch when I fed it this morning, so it and the house have been sitting all day at -20(ish) with no source of heat. And it's freakin' cold in here. The thermostat goes down to 50F, and the needle is huddling cozily at the bottom of the scale.

I have a pretty high cold tolerance, but this is less than comfortable. It's so cold I don't want to type. All I want to do is huddle. But I have to finish Freebird for tomorrow.

At least it's not literally below freezing in here. Water sources actually *would* freeze in the cabin when I was a kid.

*shiver*

Wow...glad you got it fired up! We are having issues with our boiler too. It cuts off in the middle of the night and come morning, no hot water until I sweet talk it. Parts are "on order". The house only drops to about 60-64 though. I *really* wish we had a good 'ol luddite approved wood stove as a back up heater.
