Anyone turn their heat on yet?

[Sonia59]

Oh yes, one or two weeks ago because temp drops a lot during nights.

[Pam]

Not yet. I did get up in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago and put on warmer pajamas though.

[Glacier]

Started using the woodstove in August. It's been on pretty much non-stop for at least three weeks now!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yep, my arthritis can't stand the cold!!! It's been down in the 40s here at night lately.

I almost broke down this am to do it! Jonah told me he was cold, and when I asked him if he wanted the heat on he said, "yeah.."! But, instead, I put him in warmer clothes, closed the windows, and moved on.

It is OCTOBER! Can't we have ONE month with neither the AC or the heat to complain about? LOL.

I do have a lot more bedfellows of late....

We did last night. I couldn't believe how cold it got, but also Cadience is completely cold so I wanted the trailer to be warm for her. I think I set it on 72

Not yet. It's kind of cold and raw out today so I have a feeling I'll be putting it on soon. I'm trying to tough it out.

[Randi]

It's getting quite chilly here too, so I've put three or four of my radiators on. They go from 0-5. I have them only on 2 now.

This is the perfect weather right now. We do not need the A/C or the heat for the time being. But it is supposed to rain tomorrow and Saturday. Although, I'm hoping it doesn't get too cold.

I have turned mine on for a few moments and then thought about the expense. I really just took "the chill off" the house and then shut it off. The cats were thrilled to have a little heat.

In the cold winter, I use the minimum amount of heat but use an electric sheet (goes under a regular sheet) to heat my bed while I sleep in it. I usually have the heat on in the living room (very low temp) and then nothing in the rest of the house, as the kitchen applicances usually keep the kitchen warm and my bathroom stays warm since it is on inside walls.

I usually do not spend much money on my heat, thank goodness. Since I live alone, there is no one to complain about the freeeeeezing temperatures! The cats just sleep under the covers with me at night and plant themselves on the pilot light area on the heater. We ofen have sun out around here and that too, helps heat the place during the day.

I feel very sorry for the folks who do have to spend a forturne heating their homes.

Also, I live in a building (former country store) where I live on the top floor and two tenants live underneath. They usually have their heat cranked up - thus heating my floors.....they, in general, keep my place tolerable temperature wise. I hope they keep up the good work this winter, again!

No heat on yet here. Temperatures have been cool at night 45-50 but not enough to turn heat on. Our house is very well insulated and actually the a/c was kicking on early in the evening last night. It was set at 75

We have the heat in Hannah's room on since she refuses to keep the blankets on at night lol and she has a little cold right now so i gotta keep my baby warm.

but other than that no. I love to have my bedroom nice and chilly and just snuggle up under our nice warm comforter. I did have the close the windows today as it was getting a little too chilly in here... but no heat yet... just a snuggly blanket on the couch My heaven on earth LOL... snuggled in a blanket on the couch.

This is my favorite time of year. the heat and humidity is gone and there is just the right amount of chill in the air.

[pitc9]

Nope, not yet!
We haven't even had a fire yet either! But I don't think it will be long!

[Uabassoon]

It's still in the 90s here! The cooler is running 24/7 in this house.
