Your yearly average heating degree days = 9059
This doesn't tell you anything except that it gets really cold where you live, but you knew that already.
The method I came up with is quite accurate if you can account for all the KW-h or BTUs you used during a particular period. With your heating methods I seriously doubt that you could account for how much heat you used.
So, getting back to your request:
> If so what size water to air heat pump would you recomend?
There is no basis for a reasonable guess.
You could go through
THIS HEAT LOSS CALCULATOR and arrive at a close estimate.

Then again, I'd suggest that you tap into local lore and ask people who are in your area, because they have to contend with the weather you are facing... you might even get lucky and run into someone with a house that is in similar in size and similar in insulation.
That's probably going to be your best bet.
