Isn't that the truth about the northern hemisphere. We're getting a
dose of the white stuff with frigid winds. My kitchen cupboards are on
outside walls. The corner cupboard in the kitchen could almost double
as a fridge in the winter leading us to suspect the previous owners were
negligent in installing insulation. It's going to be a pain tearing
those walls apart but for energy savings, we are going to. The nice
thing about these cold temps is when you are having a large crowd, you
can put things like pop on the porch to stay cold and save fridge space.
