Snow in November and No Heat

It's been a horrible weather weekend here in Cambridge.  We got pummeled by a Nor'easter with high winds, lots of rain, and even some wet snow.  We all know how I feel about snow so this was not acceptable at all.  I figured it would be a good weekend for some housework and lots of school work.

We had tried to turn the heat on on Thursday night but it never kicked on and we were too busy with the pumpkins to do anything about it.  Friday night the heat was still not working but we went out to Inmanween so we didn't really realize.

That changed on Saturday morning when we tried to crank the heat, to fend off the cold weather.  Even with the thermostat on 90+ degrees nothing seemed to happen.  JO went exploring in the basement and it sounds like the boiler is working but we aren't getting any heat.  I'm wondering if our neighbors downstairs are experiencing the same thing since we don't seem to be enjoying any of their heat escaping upstairs.

It's been real cold and we've taken to a couple of different strategies to stay warm:

Hats and three pairs of pants










Warming ourselves by the "fire"










Piling up the clothes fresh out of the dryer on top of us.

Hopefully the heat will be fixed tomorrow.  Until then, the kittens will have to keep snuggling.
