Last Winter was certainally brutal with lows averaging a few digits below zero.
I have slowly grown accustomed to the cold weather in this region, however even I have our limits. You can bundle up in as several layers as you can possibly imagine, however it would completely prevent frostbite on your face, short of wearing a full ski mask whenever you venture outdoors. Because of the obvious terrible connotation with ski masks, wearing 1 at all times, let alone in a bank, is just not feasible. Frostbite becomes a constant worry for me because I’m constantly dealing with it on our face or on our hands. After getting frostbite repeatedly for several weeks causes damage to the skin that is strenuous to avoid. Therefore, I try to stay indoors whenever possible during the cold Winter season. I have a great central heating system that is powered by propane gas, even though I also have a immense fireplace that I have been diligently servicing plus maintaining for the last 15 years that I have lived in this house. I get it cleaned twice during the Winter season each year so I never have to worry about excessive smoke getting into our indoor air, plus removing any potential fears of any other concerns that normally arise out of abusing a fireplace with no cleaning. The soot builds up a lot quicker than most realize. Since I keep the fireplace so well tested, I can curl up in front of the fire each night without worrying if I’m exposing myself to carbon monoxide. My dogs love the fireplace too, especially at night.
