Still snowing and windy. Woke up at 0400 hrs and noticed it was a little cold in the castle. Hmmmmmmm....furnace not coming on. Light bulb comes on above me head! Yep snow had drifted over the outside furnace vent!
Carbon Monoxide was reading 23.....it always reads 0.
Out I go to shovel the drift away from the vent. Come back in turn the thermostat to off........to reset........and then to "On" and bingo........heat!
I imagine the HVAC people never envisioned a snowdrift blocking the vents!
Thank goodness for all the safety stuff on furnaces these days.
They will be talking about the 2006 Blizzard for years to come. One of the best storms we have had since Global Warming kicked in.
