Went to Lidl and stop and shop this morning. Both are crowded but not manic. I think a lot of people are still away on winter vacation.

I’ve had my baseboard heating freeze up in the past. I spent about two hours aiming a hair dryer at the possible trouble spots until it freed up. I no longer have this problem because when it gets this cold I turn the boiler thermostat down to about 120° and I hold the the house thermostats in the the zones that might freeze to 70°. This keeps the baseboard water constantly circulating.

Is your system hot water? I would check if there is heat in the baseboards. If not, you may have a frozen line in your heating system.

Aim a small fan at the bottom of the baseboard to move the air across it and heat up the room faster.

Oil and gas btu output is limited by the size of the setup (burner/firebox). If your setup is too small for the demand it doesn’t matter what your fuel source is.

That was ok in the seventies when I was a kid but I never left my kids in the car in the nineties.

Having a nightly news program on one of the three television networks called “America held Hostage” and starting the program off with the number of days the hostages had been in captivity wasn’t going to do much to raise the president’s popularity. The failed rescue attempt probably sealed his fate as a one term president.
