The latest snowstorm to hit our part left us without power for several mornings. The people I was with and I spent our mornings shoveling the driveway plus clearing off the cars. Thankfully we have a fireplace so at least we had a heat source which is more than several of our neighbors did. When the power was finally restored we turned on the local news to see what the weather report was. There was an emergency message scrolling across the top to let homeowners guess about the importance of clearing the exhaust pipe for the HVAC system before turning it back on; The people I was with and I never even thought of that when we were out shoveling plus I immediately went to the temperature control to turn off the heat. The report said that if the exhaust was clogged by snow there could be a dangerous build up of carbon monoxide in a actually short time. The people I was with and I all bundled up plus headed back outside to shovel our way to the far side of the house where the vent was situated, then even though the youngsters complained about having to go out again they understood the importance of making sure that the vent is cleared. They had all about the dangers of carbon monoxide in university plus were afraid of it getting into the house. I promised them all hot cocoa when they finished the task plus that I would turn the heat way up for a bit to make sure the house was nice plus sizzling once it was cleared. The people I was with and I had the task done in no time by laboring together plus I even sited a board against the house to block the snow from falling directly on the vent again.
