I...I've done that, too, Helen, but not with towels. I don't mind stiff towels, I guess. :) To avoid ironing some clothes, you can put them in the dryer for 5 to 10 minutes, then take them out and hang them while they're still warm and wrinkle free. You get the best of both worlds that way. <BR/><BR/>One thing to remember when comparing costs is that the rate of electricity or gas varies a lot.

I'm so sorry.... anyway, it takes a little longer to dry when snow is on the ground, depending on how cold it is. If the sun shines on them, they dry in a few hours. I live where I can leave them out overnight if they're not dry, but I usually bring them in anyway, and finish drying them on hangers or the line downstairs.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122457524036298067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460131713224869765.post-486838005711174962007-02-23T13:01:00.000-07:002007-02-23T13:01:00.000-07:00Hello Pat, Missed you on your old website and glad...Hello Pat, Missed you on your old website and glad I found you again! How long does it take for clothes to dry when there is snow on the ground? We have been hanging them on inside racks and hangers. We're a family of 9. It would be great to dry the comforters outside. I have my potatoes in the dryer now, it's nice and cold in there!
