That first winter, I legitimately wondered just what I had been thinking that moving to the most northern reaches of the country would be no big deal.

Of course it would be a big deal. It might not be for someone that grew up in a place that had a serious winter. But, I came from a place where there aren’t even HVAC furnace heating methods. If both of us needed heat while both of us were in the winter, both of us simply flipped the heat pump over to heating mode. Not here plus not by a long shot is that the case. Here, the Winter is at least half the year if not longer. And the amount of snow plus ice is just remarkable. At first, I found all the snow to be entertaining plus attractive. Then, it became a constant, frigid chore that I had to deal with on a near weekly basis. I came here for a task that would be integral to our work. It seemed love a no brainer. Now, I just hope I can survive the next 5 years because that is the commitment that I made taking this task. Hopefully, after that commitment is up, I can return to the land of the heat pump. But until then, I’m right here plus truly thankful to have a legitimately nice furnace as our HVAC heating method. It it wasn’t for the consistent plus moderate heating that comes from the furnace, I would not have a pick to complete our task assignment. At least I like the food up here but with the long, freezing winter, I sure do get fatter than I want. But maybe exercising indoors will help myself and others deal with the freezing as well.
