Ok, I'm ready.

Is it too early to be ready for Spring?
Been 20 below zero nights here, average the last week.
Everyone at work, now including me, is sick with some kind of head chest coughing mess.
And nowwwww...I come home from work Friday to a cold house. Went to check the furnace which is in the cellar, accessible from one of those 1912 outside ramp looking hatch entrances. And opened the door to a floor covered in water. Shined the flashed in there and looked at my cold lonely furnace setting there with a foot of water up around the bottom of it.

So, yah I'm ready

That does not sound good at all. Hopefully you will be able to get it (and yourself) fixed up real soon.

Im 100% ready for this winter to be over My fishing poles are covered in dust, my Fords covered in rust and my fuel bills about to bust!.

P.S. Good luck with your furnace Jimbo.

It was 61 degrees here yesterday. Coldest it has been here this winter was 25 degrees. Normal precipitation for January is a bit over 5 inches and have only had around 2 inches. Also, our snow pack is in terrible shape. Cascades look like it is mid April and not the first of Feb.

17° here right now which is actually considered pretty warm.

I got lucky.
Co-worker came up with a sump pump and we pumped all the water out except for about the last three inches which the pump wouldnt get.
Thinking I surely had a frozen/broken water line, I went on the hunt.
What I found was my garden hose turned on... with a spray gun on the end. The spray gun held it back until it didnt..
Once the water level reach the furnace motor...the furnace said, "good night Irene"
Who in the hell left that hose spigot stored in the "ON" position?

I think it was your neighbor who screwed up the hose. Or at least that would be my story and I would stick to it.

I am sure it was a pain, but I am also glad it wasn't anything worse.
