Wed. Feb. 4, 1981 Nearly 0 last nite. Fair, very cold. 30 degrees all day. Roy & Jennings were in. I wrapped up face & all and got the mail today.
Footnote: Roy is her brother-in-law, married to her sister Edith. Jennings is her brother who lives nearby.
My notes: Well, I am back at Leah's for the night. Last night I am sitting on the sofa, stuffing dolls and wondering why my nose is so cold. Then I started listening for the furnace to come on, nothing. So I turned up the thermostat and nothing happened. I turned the furnace on manually and no hot air coming out. So I put a jacket on my pajama top and put on a felt hat and turned on my electric blanket and went to bed. I never got cold during the night but the house was at 50 this morning. I called Leah for the name of a furnace man that her company uses. I had turned on the stove as I just couldn't take it any longer. Furnace man came about 1PM and gave me the bad news - the 35+year old furnace could not be repaired as they don't make the parts anymore. Now we have been warned that a ice/snowstorm is on the way. So I told the guy to order the furnace and I would be back when he could install it. I gathered my things and left - I did turn on all the water faucets and left all the lights on. Hope there are no pipes broken - not supposed to get that cold for a long period.
It is always something.
