It is 73 degrees warmer...
7 years ago
We'll like the title says, it is 73 degrees warmer than last week here in NW Pennsylvania. The dog and I took an extended walk just prior to lunch since it is so balmy today. It seems to have worn him out, but that's okay.
What is it like where you are today?

MaxMin thermometers: My hill's warmer than my hollow
Comments (2)It's amazing what a difference seemingly minor changes in elevation make. A quarter mile down my road will get frost, and at my house there will be none. I'd say the difference in height is perhaps 15 feet over that quarter mile span, and it's a very gentle slope down. But it sure proves that cold air flows down to the lowest spot. The nursery where I work typically runs at least 6 degress F colder than my home location in winter. Their first frost is usually weeks before mine. It's just 11 miles away. Tonight is the killer freeze, though. Should be high teens at my house, and maybe down into single digits at work. Hard to believe it was in the 70s yesterday.

Comments (2)It depends on the outside temperature as to what the heat pump will put out in the way of heat. A temperature of 110 degrees at the plenum is not uncommon with warmer outside air, say above 55 degrees. It is also normal to notice a smell (mostly from dust) when you turn the heat on for the first 1 or 2 times for the season. If everything is working as it should, I doubt your aux. heat kicked in and the 105 is the heat pump itself. So far, without actually testing the unit and taking into consideration the temperatures throughout the country lately (not knowing where you are located) I think your unit is just fine. Heat pumps are designed according to the cooling needs of the building. If the unit was cooling properly, the heat pump mode will heat properly. Aux. heat makes up the difference needed to fully heat....See MoreWeek 73: getting cold
Comments (40)Rebeccamom- here is my recipe. I don't actually measure when I'm cooking so the amounts are approximate. Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas 1 pound chicken breast 1 medium sweet onion 1 bell pepper 2 cloves garlic 3 Tb olive oil 2 Tb butter 1/4 cup flour 2 cups chicken broth 1 cup sour cream 1-4 oz can green chilies 1 cup shredded Colby jack 8 flour tortillas Heat up olive oil in a skillet and add chicken. Mince garlic over chicken. As chicken is cooking, chop up onion and bell pepper and add to the oil. Stirring and tossing until cooked. Remove chicken and chop or shred then return to pan and remove from heat. In a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour (making a roux). Add chicken broth and stir constantly until it is boiling, boil for one minute and remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and green chilies. Now time to assemble! Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. Take a flour tortilla, add some chicken mixture and shredded cheese and roll up. Place seam down in pan. When they are all rolled, pour your sour cream sauce over the top and sprinkle any remaining shredded cheese over it. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Hope you enjoy it!...See MoreFar corner bathroom 6 degrees warmer and 4% lower humidity...
Comments (6)What is the temperature in the bathroom, and what is the temperature in the rest of the condo? Do you keep the bathroom door open when it is not being used? Does the bathroom face the south? The humidity level is relative to the temperature. It is the percentage of moisture the air can hold at that temperature. When the air temperature increases the relative humidity level drops. A relative humidity level of 40-44% in Florida is good....See More
