133. Brrrrrrrrrrr

It is currently -5 F / -21 C. My heater broke. I'm about to spend my third night without heat. Fortunately I have lots of blankets. Years ago when I was living in Phoenix, my air conditioning broke in 117 F / 47 C. I guess this is the worlds way of balancing everything out (actually the Phoenix heat was worse).

Comments:
Well, You've lived in Phoenix and you're living in Deering. Maybe if later you move to Cherrapunji you'll have the hat-trick.
 
Ya know what?
Last week, when you guys were up in the mid-twenties for a few days, it went down to 16 at night here. There may have been a few hours when it was colder in New York City than in Deering.
 
Cherra-who?
 
Cherrapunji, India. I learned about it when I was working at NASA. Place on earth with highest rainfall. Some years over 1,000 inches.

Whoops, I just googled them--rainfall is way down in current global climate crisis. They still gat more rain than we can imagine, but it is not enough.
