Wow! +3C. We're currently at +10.5....... F or -12C. Well at least we
don't have any snow ;-)

Wow! I had no idea you could get that cold down there. How is the
insulation in your house?


Insulation sucks. The House is build of Burnt Adobe, which provides an R
value of maybe 4. Add to that the fact our primary Heat (and all Cooling) is
from Heatpumps. A great invention and generally an economical provider of
indoor comfort, but not so good at providing a temp delta of 40 degrees F.
So we bundle up and leave the outdoor faucets slowly dripping so they
don't freeze.
