Sooo cold. The heat is out in my apartment. :-(

Posted by Krusty (aka krustylu) Jan 24 '11, 13:47

Went out last night at some point but with the dryer running no one noticed.
I'm wearing three sweaters, two pairs of socks and my sneakers. I'm thinking of doing more laundry just to run the dryer.

- The landlord has people working on it but no clue if or when it'll get fixed today. Wasn't too bad until a few hours ago, now it's freezing. - Krusty Jan 24, 13:52 15
  - turn the stove on. cook something. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 24, 13:59 1

    - My landlord is really nice and is flexible with me on when I pay my rent so as long as this doesn't last more than today I won't say anything. - Krusty Jan 24, 14:00 8
      - Seems the least they could do is provide space heaters - but then I'm Californian :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 24, 14:03 1
        
        I was thinking that but most of those are illegal here. Personally, they scare me. I worry about them starting a fire. - Krusty Jan 24, 14:07

        8? They couldn't do it at like noon? Are you choosing to upgrade or this some kind of Yankee promo thing of some sort? -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 14:03 4

        Sweet! I was planning on buying some single game tickets. - Krusty Jan 24, 14:15
  - as long as they're working on it, that's a good sign. -- nm - znufrii Jan 24, 13:55 2
    - The tenant below me has a new baby and I'm worried about them. -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 13:56 1
      - they should go stay with someone if they can. -- nm - loosilu Jan 24, 13:57
- yup. -- (link) - znufrii Jan 24, 13:51
What an awful time for that, sorry dude -- nm - ty97 Jan 24, 13:48 16
- Thanks. Seriously, of course it happens during this terrible cold spell. -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 13:50 15
  - Right? It's probably been years since it's been this cold in the northeast. That's just brutal. -- nm - ty97 Jan 24, 13:51 12

    - ? no, it happens every year. -- nm - loosilu Jan 24, 13:51 10
      - Don't really care to argue it, but lows below 0 are not common in the northeast. -- nm - ty97 Jan 24, 13:53 9
        
        ok then. -- nm - loosilu Jan 24, 13:55
        
        No, they're not. It's usually between 25 and 40 this time of year with it ocassionally dropping but - Krusty Jan 24, 13:55 6
        
        Lows in the teens are common but single digits and lower are rare. -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 13:55 5
        
        I want you to link proof - Bacon on a droid Jan 24, 13:57 3
        
        My word is my proof. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 14:01 2
        
        verify me -- nm - oblique Jan 24, 14:02 1

        honestly, I've been in DC so many years I can't remember. It definitely is rare here, but this town is warm to me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 24, 13:56
        
        Crap. Now we're going to see NOAA temp charts for the next 2 boards. -- nm - TWuG Jan 24, 13:54
  - that's when the system is under stress, right? -- nm - loosilu Jan 24, 13:51 1
    - *shrug* I'm a dirty, disgusting, worthless renter and don't know anything about how things like that work. ;-) - Krusty Jan 24, 13:54
