Tonight is supposed to be the first hard freeze for here, and every day in the 10 day is forecast to be in the 20s for overnight, and much cooler than average for highs. Today I harvested some bok choy and Swiss chard, but there's still a lot of cold resistant greens out there.
The first snow of this winter season started Wednesday evening. By morning, it looked like about an inch and a half of accumulation.

Yeah, we got about the same here in Waterdown. Temperatures are hovering just below freezing. Around 19F reaching to about 27 late in the afternoon.
By Saturday the daytime temperature will start climbing. 33 Saturday, 40 on Sunday, 44 come next Tuesday, then it all starts to drop again. Those are daytime temperatures, nights of course will be much colder.

6:45 am is 27 F ( -2.777 C) Waterdown, Ontario. Where I used to live in Quebec it is 14 F.
and where my daughter's live which is much further north Edmonton, Alberta - it's 36 F! LOL weird!

At 9AM, it is 44F here. A little cooler than normal, but not much.
It is 66F downstairs in my house, and 68F upstairs. The upstairs heating system barely runs in the winter. The downstairs system does the heavy lifting for the house. I have a small heater for my bathroom for showers. That will bring the bathroom up over 70F when needed.

They said that yesterday was the coldest in the area since January 22nd (36° was my high), and every day in December has been below average, along with these winds we've had! Getting to 40° today - warmer than the last 2 days, but still well below average, and 53° is the forecast high for Sunday. Some rain forecast for Monday and Wednesday, which is good, since it is still very dry around here. Tuesday is supposed to be the nicest, getting up to 57°, and clear.
Well, yeah, heat rises. BTW, what kind of heating do you use? I have electric baseboard heating. I also have a small space heater with a fan that also works as just a fan, if I want. I used to use that in the basement when my office was down there. I was going to say that I do have regular heating in the basement. I do. But, back when my office was in the basement, it died and only got replaced about five years ago.
Down here, the standard HVAC systems are forced air. My AC is electric, and my furnaces are natural gas (methane).
Since cooling is more important than heating here, the vents are in the ceilings. Cool air settles, so the optimum design is high ceilings, and vents from above. Winter doesn't last very long here.
Since I have two separate HVAC systems in my two story house, the upstairs heating does very little work in winter months.
I have a Honeywell ceramic space heater in my master bathroom, so I can bathe in a warm room, without trying to heat the whole downstairs to shower level temperatures.

When I grew up in SoCal, we had an electric heater built into the wall of the bathrooms. Both of the houses I remember living in had them and had natural gas heating for the rest of the house. Those electric heaters in the wall created heat very quickly.
Here on Montreal's West Island, it's -6C and feels like -15. We also have a freezing rain warning until tomorrow morning. Oh great. There is an ongoing power outage right now. This is what I look like at the moment.
The power came back, twice. It's gone again. I am not a happy camper.
After rain off and on all day today, in the high 30's. Even overnight going to be 39. Tomorrow the high will be up to 44.
We are now expecting 30 to 40 mm of rain. There may still be some freezing rain coming.
My power seems to be back for real now. I lost power another time. Why can't we just have snow? Oh yeah, climate heating, that's why.

weather has been weird to say the list. It hit 45 on my car thermometer display. Today it is showing 26. No snow either. Doesn't feel like Minnesota.
