This is similar to how miserable I will be having to spend my first summer in Florida since the 2010’s.

Other than the Everglades, SWFL is the worst place to be in the summer here.

In the winter it has the most dry weather so I’ll enjoy it while I can.

I miss an open fireplace this time of year, its a great thing to have in your home. At the country home I would have a big stash of turf cut and stored.

Open fireplace = smoke in the room and all heat goes out the chimney.

These are effective, you can burn wood and coal in them:

These are very popular here in Holland because of the high prices for natural gas heating. But you need electricity for such a pellet stove:


(https://cdn.harlekijnkachels.nl/NEFJaVhBM3hJQjZVT24xRnZrZjZVYUZtZ0pFeVMwcWY=/resize:fit:1037:583/quality:90/wmu:aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGFybGVraWpua2FjaGVscy5ubC9tZWRpYS9jYXRhbG9nL3Byb2R1Y3Qvd2F0ZXJtYXJrL3N0b3Jlcy8zL0hhcmxla2lqbl9oYWFyZGVuX2VuX2thY2hlbHNfMjAucG5n/wm:1:sowe:10:10:.25/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGFybGVraWpua2FjaGVscy5ubC9tZWRpYS9jYXRhbG9nL3Byb2R1Y3QvL0kvbC9JbHZhcl85X2ludGVyaWV1cl8xX2FhbmdlcGFzdF9nb2VkZWtsZXVyXzM0ZmYuanBn)


And they are more expensive than a wood burning stove. But you can leave the house and the pellets will automatically be fed to the stove / fire. So it works without having to put wood on the fire every hour or two hours.

But charcoal briquettes can slowly burn for 10 hours but they cause more air pollution. Not ideal when other houses are very close by, less of a problem in very big countries with lots of space.

Very little smoke in the room and plenty of heat. A fire with a cover is like sex with a condom.

Beautiful!  Never heard of turf instead of wood though, but if it gets the job done great.

Wood gives good heat and has a lovely crackling sound, good heat from turf too and a nice smell as long as its not too much. Coal gives the most heat but pretty nasty to breathe. Climate change nazis wont use turf, peat briquettes were banned for production in Ireland now they are imported from Poland  ::)

It was 75 degrees Sunday afternoon; by Sunday evening it was in the 40s. We even have a freeze warning in the wee hours of the morning (in the high 20s). But, by Thursday, it'll be a high of 80 again.

Fine, lets have snow for maximum two-three weeks for the sake of all the children and professional skiers, but then cut it.

People always complain of the weather here but I just say it's Sweden! What do you expect? You're 30-40-50 and you still bitch over the obvious :D

I'm an anomaly since I like colder weather and snow, even like rain. In the summer heat I'm miserable a lot of times. If it's cold you can put on clothes or take a hot bath or whatever but if it's hot you can't remove any clothes once you are naked. Plus androgens make you run hot :D
