And looking for handouts.. it was almost 70 here, after a few weeks

Looks like the next 3-4 days will be the same..

-8C at home this morning - and even colder inland.

I'm curious. What do you use for heating fuel in such a cold climate?

Natural gas.

Nope. There is still very little natural gas in Nova Scotia. It's
available in Dartmouth, and parts of Halifax, and maybe a few other places.
Everything else that we pump off the Scotian shelf gets sent to the US
Northeast. Most people here heat with electricity (not an option for me -
see my other post) or oil. Almost everybody has a wood stove, and some
people heat with propane (we cook with it - and our fridge runs off it -
and have an auxiliary water heater for when we don't get enough sunlight).
