I'm afraid the GH is still covered with snow.
I awoke this morning to find my little mini Dachshund Jake that would have been 16 yrs old next month went to join his mother in heaven while I slept. We lost his mother 2 winters ago.
Neither DH or I felt like doing any work .
Monika I usually start the heat around the middle to end of February depending on the temperature. It is going to -10 tonight so probably won't start it till next week.
Donna I have a propane GH furnace but it is still very expensive to run when the temps are below zero.
The snow is not melting as it only got into the 20's today. The trees are still covered.
