There's a polar vortex headed for the eastern US, and folks are hunkering down. Here in the high desert (6200 feet above sea level), I'm wearing sweatpants, thick socks, a hoodie, and fingerless gloves. I've run the space heater twice so far today (one hour each time.) I've had my coffee and a large bowl of oatmeal, two mugs of tea, and I'm thinking of making myself a mug of hot chocolate.

This evening I'll order pizza early, so that it will be here before the sun goes down. I'll eat my dinner, climb into bed under my comforter and two large blankets and an afghan, with my 630-page book, read until I get drowsy, and then burrow into the blankets. Maybe, for heat conservation's sake, I'll bring a litterbox into the master bath and shut the bedroom door. The cats may not love not having the run of the house, but dangit it's COLD!!!
