    The house was 62 degrees when I got up this morning. Every year I see how long I can wait to start the furnace and I finally gave in. Opened the registers in the basement as well.

    Seems early this year. When do you normally start heating your place?

      When it gets cold. 😛

      Seriously...It got down to 63 in the house a couple of nights ago and Mr wtg got up and turned the furnace on. The wtgs are wimps in this department. I think a lot of our fellow WTFers routinely let the temp drop to 60 overnight for sleeping.

      One of life's dilemmas...it's so cold that you want to turn on the heat and/or get a blanket, but you don't want to get out of bed because it's too cold to do so....

        Annual furnace check is in a couple of weeks. We already changed the evaporator panel in the humidifier. HVAC company wants to charge something like $15 or 20 in labor to do it, which is absurd.

          We're not at that stage yet but might get there next week, when the overnight low will be about 36 at some point...

            41F last night. The heat has been on for a while. The first one up turns on the gas logs to add some warmth.
            It has been unseasonably hot and dry. Not a touch of frost.

              Amazingly, it's still getting into the high 70s here during the day, and when I woke up this morning it was 50 outside. We keep our thermostat at 60 and the house hasn't reached that temperature yet, so the furnace stays off. We still have heat and smoke. I've never seen this kind of weather in October before. It's suipposed to get more normal by the end of next week. I'm hoping to sneak in one last trip into the mountains befroe then.

                The thermostat in our living room showed 69F this morning.

                And the daytime high is forecasted to be 80F while the overnight low will be 50F.

                So, not yet.

                    We’ve had below freezing temps already at night for awhile. But it’s still nice during the day.
