It’s snowing easily taxing and there was at least an inch of ice on the road in the day; School was postponed for various minutes and then it was canceled outright! The adolescents wanted to spend all day outside in the snow… I did not want to spend all day in the snow. It was in the single digits outside, however the adolescents did not seem to care. I bundled them up in their snow pants, Wintertide overcoats, and gloves and I told them they could go outside and play for a couple of minutes. I felt safe with the adolescents in the yard and I could see them playing from the family room window. I went inside to wash up the dishes. It was a bit chilly in the family room, despite the fact that I assumed it was due to the fact that I had that back door open, and when I realized that the gas furnace wasn’t running, I decided to check the pilot light. It was not lit and I could not get it to light either. That’s when I decided to contact a buffalo heating supplier, but even though both of us live outside of Buffalo, all of the major heating companies are in Buffalo and they all service the area. I contacted the Buffalo heating service provider and they had an available appointment later that day. I put some wood in the fireplace and made a fire. When the adolescents came back in the house, I did not want them to be cold. Thank goodness both of us have various unusual types of heating sources in our home. The fireplace is a nice addition when the gas furnace is not working consistently.
