SNOW......AGAIN!

[scarlett_0]

I shouldn't complain because I actually love cold weather and snow. It actually snowed here in NC on Christmas day. The last time it snowed on Christmas I was 17. So I wake up this morning and here it is again!!! No work, no school, no nothing!!!!  AND it's still snowing.

This is the view from my front door. Not too bad. But there calling for more

This house has 5 split system (reverse cycle ACs - not sure what they generally refer to them as over there as) in different rooms... lol it only had 2 when we moved in but we kept adding them because it was too hot without them in each bedroom. But yeah the ones in the wall not the window that are both heater and cooler. Old house used to have central heating and ducted air-con but that kind of air-conditioning doesn't really work for an Aussie summer generally, particularly if it's humid! On extremely hot days ya really can't survive without refrigerated air conditioning - the other just isn't strong enough. I don't know how people survive with just fans though, I mean, it is very expensive to fit out a whole house with individual split system ACs, but god it's worth it to be able to set it at whatever temp you want and it actually stay at that temp!

Luckily we can get away with not having central heating - the split systems seem to be able to deal with the winter temps that we get... I mean, it gets damn cold overnight sometimes, but nothing like some countries get. We do tend to get a few nights where it gets down to - 2 or - 3 (around 27 / 28 f I think) which is not bad overnight but we wimps think that's freezing, lucky that doesn't happen in the daytime much or we'd DIE! XD lol.
