Well, it hasn't been pleasant over here in RoseRedville. I woke up this morning to 50* in the house. 
Got my shower and headed to the office at 6:30. Spoke with my furnace/boiler dude at 8:30 and he was sending someone to my house at 10. Home again, home again, jiggity-jig. As a thought, I checked my oil tank. EMPTY! Last auto delivery was 6 Dec. Called BurchOil and told them I have an emergency, and she said she'd have someone here today. One hour later, 2 guys showed up with 5-gallon containers and loaded me up with 20 gallons of oil. Even came inside to make sure the furnace started and was running, even though I don't have a contract with them. Not even an hour later, the delivery truck showed up and topped me off and again, the guy came in to make sure all was running well. I definitely give them props for such speedy service! My regular guy is still going to drop by today to make sure all is in order. I am now at a balmy 59* and thank goodness for my portable heater, thanks @Kyle!

Just sneakin' around....
I have a service contract with them and have never been made to wait more than 2 hours for service, even on off-hours.
Glad you're back up and running.
It's been cold and I've been at home most of the time. Went back to work (after 8 weeks off) finally but had to telework 4 of the 5 days the first week due to weather, Carter's funeral and always telework on work Fridays.
They are quick to respond. I was told over the phone that they tried to make a delivery on the 19th (Sunday) but couldn't because my driveway was impassable. I told her that was not accurate since I have been getting in and out just fine and I don't even have a truck. I told the guys the same thing when they were here the first time. They just kind of glanced at each other and didn't say anything.

Did someone tell Clarence Beeks?
It's snowing!
It's really coming down, we may actually get some accumulation.

Sounds like the lady on the phone used to work for UPS.
They're calling this a "heavy" snow. If I scooped up all the snow on the hood and roof of my car I might get a decent snowball.

Well it is falling to the ground so it must be heavy, right? Are the snowbirds laughing?They're calling this a "heavy" snow.
No, they're pissed because they didn't come all this way to get snowed on. The only ones laughing and excited are the locals.
Here's an update:
It's turned to freezing rain, which sucks. I swept off my steps and walkway so I don't bust my ass when I take Gretel out later. Nobody owns a shovel here.
