Coming in from the cold: Heat pump efficiency at low temperatures

They are very clever for sure and I know we have talked about them many times.

The crows that hang out at the strip mall where I work have some interesting routines.

I swear there are times I've seen them pause and look left and right to make sure it's safe.
