I wasn’t joking about how cold it was going to be today. Looks like we set a record this morning:

A new record low temperature of -37 degrees was set at the Grand
Forks International Airport Tuesday morning January 13… beating the
previous record of -31 degrees set in 1979. Records at Grand Forks
Airport date back to 1941.

And our walls in the kitchen still aren’t insulated. On top of that, at the bottom of each void between the studs, there is a small, 1/2″ vent hole. That hole is currently venting in some -24* air into our kitchen.
