It's 37F

My house smells like radiator.
:(

ETA: And good thing, too. As Tony notes, there was snow this morning. (But now the sun seems to be coming out.)

I find the scent of forced steamed air very comforting--it's like living in a teapot.

Yeah, but that first time of the winter, where it smells sort of burnt and stale -- that's what's yucky.
Better that than wake up with frostbite, though!

Oh, well, no one likes burnt and stale tea.

My landlord replaced my radiators with electric heat in the spring. This is OK because they would sound as if a man in the basement was hitting the pipes with a baseball bat when they turned on.

Mine are generally quiet, although sometimes they sound like they're hissing. Sort of like angry cats. Either that or spitting.

But they're not.

Are you a light sleeper? I am a deep sleeper and the banging would wake me up.

My angry cats hiss and spit (I sleep through that too).

No. I awake to nothing but my alarm clock.
And oftentimes barely that.
