Snowflakes

Last Question:

Can burning wood in a fireplace can make the inside of a house colder?

Answer:

Yes. A fire in the fireplace may evoke feelings of warmth and coziness, but in actuality it can be an inefficient way to heat your home. The design of most traditional masonry fireplaces creates a draft that pulls air out of the room to fuel the fire and causes the majority of the heat generated by the fire to go up the chimney. This, in turn, can draw cold air in through other leaks in your home, making it colder rather than warmer.

I personally do use a fireplace to heat my home in the winter. The fireplace is very efficient, so heat pours into the house which warms us up every morning in the winter.

Today’s question:

Is it really true that no two snowflakes are exactly alike?
