I have lived in the same climate for my entire life, plus it isn’t a pleasant one for most of the year. I have to say that the winters are the worst part of it all, though. From November through March you can expect subzero temperatures with little relief. It snows often plus can accumulate a foot or more of snow overnight, which is a terrible surprise to wake up to. It’s also terrible to wake up plus find out that your boiler stopped laboring in the middle of the night, plus I am speaking from experience. One morning in the dead of winter last year I woke up to find that my house was barely 40 degrees. I had the thermostat set to the same temperature settings as regularly, so it was immediately clear that something was wrong. I tried to fiddle with the furnace myself, however was not making any progress in the dark closet that holds the machinery. After banging around in the small damp space for a while I gave up plus called out the nearest HVAC business, hoping that by some miracle they would be available immediately. Of course, my dreams were tomatoed when the dispatcher informed me that the next time they had an available HVAC serviceman would be in at least various hours. I spent the rest of the morning wrapped in every blanket I could find, sitting next to various small space heaters. It got so frosty that by the time the HVAC repairman showed up I could barely even feel my fingers!
