Just recently...like within the last year they decided they were going to start naming snow storms

Officially snowing here.

More than I can say about last winter. Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy snowshoeing? (I know, like 50 times, and there won't be enough for that, but I am excited anyway.)

Here's something that may be useful for those folks with no power, but some candles...

Are the three clay pots bolted together? What about the jars holding it over the candle? They are not in the suplies list. I'm confused.

I like step-1 picture: "have cat monitor the work steps.."

No I didn't see the steps. I see 'em now.

You should email that link to everyone without power....oh wait.

I don't understand the purpose of this contraption. . . is it for warming your hands or something? I didn't do the greatest back in Thermo for EEs, but I'd be willing to bet the candle is going to put the same amount of heat into the room regardless of whether you put some clay pots above it.

^ I don't think so. It's also been quite awhile since I had thermo last, but the actual flame of a candle is small and probably not able to generate much heat to the surrounding area. Mainly because what you are heating is basically air, which has a low specific heat capacity. Now take that same flame and apply it to something that does hold heat well (i.e. clay pots with a high specific heat capacity) and you have yourself a small radiator. It may take awhile to heat up, but once it is heated up, it should have the capability of heating more of the surrounding area than a small candle flame does. That's my take on it.

It's been abnormally cold here for the past several days too. Dipping down into the upper teens at night. More like mid December weather than early November weather.

abnormal? it's supposed to be in mid 60's on Sunday - thats abnormal for November; course hard to tell anymore w/ 100 deg summers

I've rarely seen my dog as happy as during our walk this evening. She was one excited pup, and it's still coming down. (She has bad knees and a sad personality, so to see her all fired up was great.)

Does your local APL do fostering? It sounds like the empress needs a buddy during the day.

That's a really good idea. She loves playing with my mom's dog when I visit and could use the company.
