Last week I spend 3 days up north at our cabin. We have not had our driveway plowed, so I had to snowshoe in about 200 yards or so.

It was 7 degrees when I arrived, but I got the wood fire started in the stove, and the kerosene heater going, and after several hours it had warmed up to 50 + degrees.
