cold here.....like COLD

no one I talked to can remember a winter like this, I know that it is the worst since we moved here from San Diego. There has been snow, but really it has been all about the cold. We have been looking at temps as much as 30* below average. I didn't even know the thermometer in my ruck registers -12*. It was -22* night before last up by our cabin. I'm sure the propane furnace there has been running almost non-stop. Weather guy said we are at 108" of snow for the season, above normal precip.

Have been trying to work inside the boat but the electric heaters just can't get it warm when the outside temps are in the teens. I figure when my 20amp extension cord gets warm I'm drawing a few amps? I have a 30amp cord but I don't think the supply breakers will take that load.
