Just came back from my stupid mental health walk. How are you dealing with the cold? Power was a euro/kWh earlier this year. It's 14 degrees here right now. Sometimes it feels like courage fails me.

Happy to meet another member of the blanket lovers club!

The numbers are about the same as in Europe: a space heater will draw anything from 800 to 2000 watts (2300W being the theoretical limit for the very common 230V/10A circuits), blankets range from 40 to 120 watts. I suppose while the voltage and current are different across the pond, the humans and their preferences are about the same.
