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.

Your suspicions are "spot on" "I suspect sleet and snow we’ll soon be getting"

Our first snow arrived last night. 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.

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

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. Best of wishes to you. my friend. Harry
