There were a good amount of changes to get used to when my family.moved down south, however I was a teenager and had been living in the freezing north for the entirety of my short life.
We had some pretty good summers as well as comfortable Springtime as well as Autumn seasons, but our winters were extreme.
Lots of snow day after day, almost always having to stay bundled up, as well as more than a handful of cases of exhausting frostbite to deal with. In this environment, the people I was with and I managed to go through most of the year without ever needing a cooling system. Both of us lived in extremely high elevation with absolutely little wind breakage from trees in our yard. This meant that with all of the windows open throughout our house, the people I was with and I could get a comfortable breeze no matter what the weather outside was on no matter what day it was. With that being said, once the first snowfalls came, the people I was with and I had no choice but to start using indoor heat to whatever extent that we possibly could. Natural gas wasn’t cheap as well as sometimes it was hard to get deliveries if the roads were iced over or there was too much snow to drive anywhere. This meant that we got by with only chopping and burning some wood. There was a sense of beauty as well as ambience to having a blazing fire in the living room to cozy up to. Now that I live in a comfortable environment without drastic winters, I’m finding it yard to justify burning wood to heat my home. If it’s not all that important, I get stressed that needlessly combusting wood as well as filling the atmosphere with more smoke is a less desirable plan of heating your house opposed to electric or gas radiant heat. On the flip side, it’s at least better to utilize wood from dead trees instead of chopping down live 1s to source out your timber. In our case, the people I was with and I had a big piece of land with an abundance of dead, old trees to find each as well as every single year.
