It's still 2013

The gas furnace I’ve never liked is not liking me back. Dead as Marley this below-freezing night. Sometime tomorrow, I will pay to revive it but that’s the old beast’s last hurrah. In the Spring of the much better year to come, a quiet, new high efficiency furnace will take its place.
[Update] Some thermostat tweaking has persuaded the heat to come on. A flaky flame sensor is probably at fault. The service call will still be required, but at least we are warm for a while.
