Monitoring the Thermostat

Temperatures have plummeted for November,
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting
Snow is expected, normally, not until December,
Temperatures have plummeted for November
My fireplace is a-glow with hot ash and ember
I suspect sleet and snow we’ll soon be getting
Temperatures have plummeted for November
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting.

At midnight the ground was covered, but it melted before morning. Many people didn't even get to see it because it happened after they went to bed and was gone before they got up.

John Lawless Date: 11/16/2022 4:54:00 AM does that include the "mental and emotional" thermostatic rise as the price of heating the place soars...??? Methinks we may have a harsh winter to balance the torrid summer and reach a happy medium overall Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 11/16/2022 8:40:00 AM Thanks for your thoughtful observation and comment, John.

Harry Horsman Date: 11/15/2022 9:25:00 PM An ordinary thing to do, Milt. although the cold seems early this year. Yet to create a wonderful poem, out of it all, is masterful.
