~We're still holding out here. I usually wait until the temperature in the house drops below 60* for more than 3 hours in the morning. It's been rather mild here this October and sunny which heats up my small house pretty well.~

No thermostat to turn on here but we've had a fire going in the woodstove every morning (to take chill off but don't add more wood during day) the past few days. Right now it's 43º out and I think tonight or tomorrow night it's supposed to be 20º. :thud: Fire for sure. Glad our first delivery of wood came.

We do the below 60 degree thing in the house too and yes the heater has kicked on.

We have no need for a heater here. 4 daughters at home (16, 14, 12 and 11) so our home is entirely heated by hair dryers. :D

Our heater has been on for the last three weeks. It dips below freezing now at night and the night have only been in the low 40's :(

I haven't cut my furnace on yet, but have used the space heater a couple of times just to take the chill off in the mornings. We're getting down into the low 40's at night, so it gets down to about 58 in the house. Supposed to go near freezing later this week, so will probably have to cut it on then, though I don't want to! lol

No, we have not even gotten the heaters out yet. Our central A/C is still being used here and there. We typically don't use any form of heating except December and January which it is then it is just off and on and not continuous or everyday. The A/C, on the other hand, goes almost non-stop from March to October.

No, we haven't had to turn our heat on yet, thank goodness. But we live in MS and our weather has been pretty mild. Yesterday though it was pretty warm and I REFUSED to turn the air on. We had a few nights where the temp went down to 35-37 but we managed w/o the heat.

I am sitting here looking out the window at 12+ inches of snow. Looks like the heat is going to stay on for awhile, night times are suppose to around 17. I was hoping to just use the portable for awhile but its just too cold.

Sunday morning it was 37 outside and 62 in my house, so we turned on the heat for a little while. The nights have been cool but the last couple of days we've been in the high 70s so I am not turning the heat on again while the days are warm, even if it's cold in the morning.
