Wow 55! We did spray insulation a few years ago and I'm convincing myself it helped for my own sanity but truthfully I'm not too sure and they only did the attic since we didn't want to open walls. When it's really windy we have to stay in coats and blankets.

I think think the lowest I've seen my house get to was 64 and that's only because of the wind that keeps blowing in.

My gosh, I can't imagine being 55 inside, good luck and stay warm!
Well, I'm in a condo. So I have no cold coming for the whole inner side, where it's a bit warmer, but the out facing walls are all leaking air (we have sleeve units). It's not too bad overall.

Just pulled my digital thermometer out of my fishtank, and it dropped to 56°. That's on the warm side of the room, on top of a tank heated to 76°

I personally think this whole thing is a bit overrated.

CLE is not as cold as Chicago, but I agree. -5 today and -35 with wind. Don't get me wrong, it's very cold, but with a couple layers and good coat, hat and gloves, no reason that they cancelled school today.

Maybe get a space heater?

Was going to ask how you shower when it's so cold inside, but maybe I should start a new thread for that

I tend to agree, but there's a large gap between the temp and real feel. Here, it's not going above -15 -20 without the wind, until Thursday. Windchills are - 43 now and going lower over the next 24hrs.
Maybe get a space heater?
Picking one up, I feel bad for the kids, although they don't seem to mind.

Lol just use colder water than usual so I don't feel as cold when I get out. Dry off well. Used a blow drier for my son's hair last night. Our room is currently at about 55°

Just rebooked my LIH Minivan rental for today while sitting at the gate in OGG.

Now just $200 all in for 6 days 👌

Always worth checking for price drops.

They told us they would knock that stuff off after the LY ATC ripoff in exchange for us removing the copyright strike against them...

So the Antarctica Siyum they first did on YT (IIRC) and then removed and reposted on Vimeo (or private hosting)

+1. I've used autoslash in the past. Dunno if one can do even better checking things on their own, but it works great if you don't have time/patience for manually checking.

ORD beat ATL for the most departures and takeoffs in 2018 with over 900k, making it the busiest airport in America by departures again.
let's see if they move up from the number 6 spot in passing passengers

If you've never tried this, I'd highly recommend it.
Introduced it to @Something Fishy on our Antarctica trip and he finished my entire supply  >:(  ;D

Not seeing a coupon, but that's an amazing deal.

Amex just scared me. Opened my amex app for the first time in awhile and saw two cards I didn't recognize. Took me a sec to realize that they changed the picture of my spgs to marriot bonvoy cards.
