Heat officially turned on yet?
Well, it has been getting into the 30's and even the 20's at night here so I have turned the heat on offically this year. Yuck!!! My heat is turned down very low so it has only been running at night and early morning. Guess that is ok since winter is officially here in 4 days.
Just keeping my fingers crossed that this winter is not bad weather wise.
So is your heat officially turned on?

I'm kind of like bookwormpeg, but haven't had the A/C on sincemid to late November. I've had the heat on probably four or five mornings for half and hour or so, just to take the night chill off the apartment. We're down in the 50s all this coming week, so I'll probably have to use it a little in the mornings. Probably more in January/February, then it will moving back up toward A/C.

I'm in central Florida. Still have the system switched to A/C set at 78 degrees, and it kicks on occasionally. Even when it got into the 50s at night, the apartment only dropped to 73. I wish it would get colder, I'm sick of this heat.

Central Florida too....A/C set to 77..no heat...air occasionally kicks on. Windows open at night when it got down in 40's and 50's. House still didn't get below 74 here either...That kept the house cooler during the day longer having the windows open at night.

It's on, but it's on low. The kids all have extra blankets on their beds, and DH and I have a sleeping bag unrolled on top of our comforter.

We started burning wood in October. It is cold enough here that we now keep the fire burning 24 hrs. Once the sun starts to clear the trees again (late January), we can cut back on sunny days.
