That's true - I have a cabin up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We
replaced a shingle roof that kept the snow on it with a metal roof, and
boy, does it get cold in there when we arrive! Last time it was 22
degrees outside and 17 inside. It never seemed that cold with the old
roof on it - but it does save me from having to shovel snow off when it
gets over 10 feet of snow on it!

I brought a Mr. Heater up there - a heater head that screws onto a
propane tank. Crack a door open and run it, and I can get the cabin to
60 in 2 hours.
