Mnemonic

When you're the only one all by yourself in a house that has a roof without a chimney (meaning there is no heating) in the heart of a late winter (meaning it's really cold) you will feel great anxiety.

(If you were there with someone else you could have kept each other warm body-to-body, but alas.)
