ITT: A Floridian bitches about cold weather

[Whatever]

It's a whopping 18 here this morning!  Yay!

[Suu]

31 and not a cloud in the sky. I'm okay with this. I get worried when it's cloudy and below freezing...but it's coming. Soon...Next week's forecast looks like Rhode Island's best winter mix.

La Nina winters suck. That means in January it's going to be a high of 10 with not a cloud in the sky, but the little snow that accumulated from showers here and there will freeze, and the state becomes an ice skating rink.

It's supposed to drop down to 31 here tonight.
the hell.

Woo! Hard freeze! Get yer plants in! Spray the strawberries! Watch the oranges turn orange overnight!


...And I'm so glad I pay rent for my heat to NOT work.

I've told my landlord, and he said, "Well, the system is old and you're on the top floor. Most of the steam goes into the downstairs apartments first."



I have got to get out of here. I am going to freeze to death next month.

Aaagh, that's against the law, man, if he doesn't fix it.

Not sure--let me check--57'F...not too bad.  I like it on the colder side here in December-March.

It's considered an operational system, and I'm cranking the one in the bathroom. I have the valve on the main heater almost all the way open and it's not doing a thing...however, when I DON'T want it on, you bet that fucking hisses like a motherfucker.

If he were to "fix" this, he would have to replace the radiators with baseboard in 12 units, 2 of which are directly on my line. So not only would I freeze, so would they. I fucking hate steam radiators, even when I was staying with the Z's their system was flawed to hell as well. I swear it only came on at 4am so by the time I woke up, my room was sweating.

I dunno, man, sounds like barely livable conditions.  Hope the rent's CHEEEAP.  Not that that makes up for freezing.

I have 2 extra space heaters that work remarkably well for their size if you wanna take one back with you.

Let's just say that I'm getting what I'm paying for.

My fridge is bigger than my shower.

Space heater time.  If it's not liveable, he can't bitch when you run one and jack up the electric bill.

[LMNO]

But as a personal favor, don't get one of those that spontaneously burst into flame.

[Rumckle]

It's about 22C here. The river hasn't flooded yet, but if we get the rain that's expected tonight some of the suburbs on the over side of the river may be underwater. 

(Luckily for me the levy bank on my side is higher).

It's on now, and squealing like a motherfucker. I wonder if the thermostat is fuxxored.

[Richter]

Use science.  Apply a cold pack to it.
