So you know it's cold when...
You avoid using the toilet all day because the seats will shock your posterior...like sitting directly in the snow. (This makes fuzzy toilet seat covers a must within the home...)
You fore go any and all duties in your home in favor of climbing under the electric blankets as soon as you come home (and have no protest about going to bed given on the part of any child in the family.)
You fantasize about the days when in the dead of winter you walked barefoot in your home, could fall asleep on the couch without a cover and never felt like your legs were being flash frozen when they swung out of the bed in the morning.
You love hot water...at any time...preferably in a glass to drink.
You put on at least two layers of clothing immediately after exiting the shower...icicles on your arm hair are unwanted.
You wear gloves with your fingertips out to type on the computer keyboard...certainly slower...but one only risks losing the tips of the fingers instead of entire digits.
and the number one reason you know it's cold where you now live...
You can see your breath while eating dinner around the dinner table!
Central heating...certainly an advance in technology that I will never take for granted again.

I, too, can appreciate central heating ... though I have learned lately that I will take the cold over the massive floods anytime!
It is easier to layer against the cold that to *rubber up* against the rain!
Papa G. just had to have new electric heaters that were guaranteed to reduce the costs of heating our house. Well, the electric bill was $100 more this month and the gas cost was even higher also. I wish you had our electric heaters. I tried really hard not to say, "I told you so."
Give hugs and kisses to all.
