One of my preferred aspects of living in Springtimefield, MO, is the four distinct seasons, and while fall can be somewhat wet, chilly as well as windy, the changing colors of the leaves creates stunning scenery, but i also care about the fresh fruits as well as vegetables, such as pears, squash, as well as zucchini at that time of year, our local winters are especially long as well as quite cold, with temperatures often dipping below chilly! My friend and I get approximately 18” of snow, which makes the landscape look wipe as well as magical.
- I don’t mind bundling up to snowmobile, snowboard or cross-country ski… Springtime tends to take a while to arrive, but the flowers are worth the wait.
I’m always enthusiastic to catch sight of the first sprouts of daffodils, hyacinths as well as tulips. Summers tend to be especially moderate as well as muggy, bringing temperatures in the high eighties or low nineties, and the weather does create difficulties with indoor comfort as well as air quality. My friend and I deal with excessive humidity in the Summer as well as insufficient moisture in the winter. The heating as well as cooling systems take turns operating, with honestly minimal cut in-between. The cost of indoor temperature control is responsible for a significant portion of the budget, and because it’s necessary to keep the windows closed for the majority of the year as well as the house sealed tight against energy waste, the living space can become overly polluted. I have invested into a heat reclaimy ventilator or HRV that brings in a constant supply of fresh air. It helps to get rid of humidity in the summer, reducing the workload of the cooling system as well as cost of weekly electric bills. In the winter, it uses the outgoing stale air to preheat the incoming air, lessening demands on the heater as well as saving money on heating bills.
