Brrrrr, We Must Have Run Out of Fuel This Morning!

We got home about 15 minutes ago and when I walked inside the cold air hit me. I was ready for a blast of warmth, but nope.
It is a balmy 51 degrees in here at the moment. My guess is that we ran out of fuel this morning. Otherwise it would be a little warmer in her than this.
I quickly handed hubby my debit card and had him go to the nearest station to get some kerosene.
Doesn't surprise me that we ran out of fuel so soon. Hubby put 50 gallons in the tank not long ago. However, it has been cold out both night and day and the furnace has been running quite a bit.
Once he gets the fuel in the tank and the furnace running we are heading out the door to the last of our 10 week course we have been taking.
Until then, Little Miss and I will be sporting our winter jackets and hats. It is cold.

Luckily we don't have to worry about that. We have heating tapes on the pipes.

It didn't take long once he got back with the fuel to get the furnace running again.

@ElusiveButterfly It has warmed up by noon, but now the sky is becoming dark and menacing again.

I usually check it at least a couple times a week, but forgot about it. Have a lot on my mind lately.

@just4him with it as cold as it has been it is no surprise that we ran out this morning. Thought we would be safe until the afternoon when hubby got back from hunting. He is on his way back home now to put more into the tank. This is crazy.

It doesn't take long for it to warm up in here. The place is small.

It would cost us a small fortune to run electric heat. We do have a space heater that we use when the temperatures are really cold and the furnace can't keep up with it.
