The weather in Billings this Sunday should be interesting. The predicted high for the day is between -2 and -7 degrees and the low between -10 and -16 degrees. I told my husband I was thinking of taking a trip down south. I don't think he believes me. LOL

I lived in Billings for a while about 30 years ago. That is one windy and cold place! |

We have a heat pump. I hate it. I wish we'd never had it put in. It cannot handle temps below 30. It goes into auxiliary mode and blows out cold air. When it is above 30 it works a little better but it is not a warm heat at all. I finally had enuf of it and turned it off. It's been off since Monday night. Thank goodness we got our gas fireplace fixed. I just use that.
Heat pumps might work in Calif. but not here in Ga. as cold as it's been lately.
Ya'll stay warm out there in Montana! Kris |

Good Lord Almighty that's cold. I don't believe I have ever been even near anything that cold but my freezer. Y'll be careful! Is that typical for your region?
Blessings!

Wow. We only heat with wood. I bet you would go through tons(literally) of firewood. My grandfather has a house way up in PA, and I went there a bit when there were terrible snow storms, and bitter cold, and although i'm little and always complaining about being cold, i still enjoy it.

Well we live in the city and have a gas furnace. We just ordered a outdoor fire pit. It won't come until the end of next week but I am looking forward to roasting marshmallows in the back yard for Christmas. OK it might be my husband who is outside roasting but I can't wait to have one. (I read him this statement and he just keeps blinking his eyes at me)

what kind of heat do you have? can a heat pump even work efficiently when it's that cold?
DH and I have dreams of moving somewhere like that. Maybe we should switch. It's december and 60 degrees! :( I want a dang blizzard! I really want to ride the 4wheeler to work :)
