#freezing temp

We have lived here in DE since Sept. 2020. The first thing we noticed that it almost never snows and the temps are very mild in the winter. Coming from PA, this was a huge difference.

When we moved into this house, we learned that the heat was propane. We also learned that to have the 124 gallon propane tank filled would cost us $500 which includes the delivery fee but not the $92/hr service fee. We never had the money, so we have not had propane heat at all. Two electric heaters were lent to us, and that is our heat. Mind you, the electric bill has gone through the roof because of them, and I have no clue how the frick I am going to be able to pay it.

This past 2 weeks, the temps have been upper 20s to low 30s at night. Cold. It even snowed a bit 2 days ago.

I noticed the temp just now, and it is 17 out. WTF!?!? It's cold in the house with both heaters going full blast. I hope to God the pipes don't freeze. Of all the times for the temps to get that cold it's when we have no propane, no money, and only 2 small electric heaters.

We are about to be homeless again, and these are the temps we may be facing. I am freaking out over here.

We moved to Delaware from PA in 2020. One of the very first things we noticed is that is never really gets as cold here as it does in PA. Winters in DE are mild with no snow. In PA, it wasn't uncommon to have temps in the single digits and windchills below 0.

Our new home uses propane for heat. When we moved in, we didn't even think about having to get the tank filled, since it was still in the 60s here at night. Boy, we were wrong.

Last night's temp sank to 33. There were frost warnings, and the house got cold. Even I was cold which almost never happens. @helly-watermelonsmellinfellon froze her arse off on the floor.

The problem? We don't have the money to fill the propane tank. It's 124 lb tank at $2.27 per gallon. The landlord stressed to Dave last week that we need to get the heat going because the pipes may burst if we don't. Apparently, the last people that lived here destroyed the place and never had heat, so all the pipes burst.

The propane company will not bills us. They want to money at the time of delivery. Neither myself nor Dave have good enough credit. So, we're screwed again.

We could use some help. Tonight's temp is going to be below freezing. We need to get the propane asap.
