Anyone turn their heat on yet?

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

We had our furnace running this morning. The thermostat is set very low though.

today we turned the heat on for a little bit just to get the chill out of the house but we only turned it up to 68...

the weather has been beautiful this week, i love it being in the 60's and low 70's

We have to turn the heat on during the nights as it nearly hit the 30s last night. I like the temps around 65-75, any cooler and I feel cold, any hotter and I feel hot.

With the price of oil???

I may NEVER turn the heat on!

Still too hot here for that....but, my electric bill was less, so I guess the A/C isn't kicking on as much as it did before! It is definately fall...I noticed our grass isn't as high as it usually is on a Thursday after a weekend mow......

Nope, A/C still running here and that is set at 75. Will probably have the A/C till the end of October if not longer. I'm in the Tampa Bay area of FL, an hour north of Tampa. Still quite warm around these parts.

If I had oil heat, I'd probably feel the same way. I've been cold blooded all my life, hence the ID Medusa. Even as a child, the cold weather made my body ache and now that I'm older, it's downright painful. I never had a bad pain day the entire time I lived in AZ. As soon as I got off the plane in OH, the pain came back.

I wonder if John Mc Cain had anything to do with that?

Nope it was 43 here today and I loved it. Wasn't feeling too well so I worked from home in my PJ's. It was heaven. I so enjoy the cold. Hot chocolate, a good book, a blanket and a kitty on the lap.

**Pembroke_Corgi** · 10-03-2008, 06:32 PM

Not yet. It's still been in the upper 70's and low 80's during the day, and we're used to it getting cool at night. This weekend is going to be cooler though (high of 65 on Sunday) so I may have to drag out a space heater or try out the fireplace if it stays cool. I'm not turning on the furnace until I have to!

**shepgirl** · 10-03-2008, 07:50 PM

Been a nasty summer so we've varied from the furnace in the morning to the a/c at suppertime since August. We light the fireplace every morning now to get that cold dampness out of the house. I find gas heat not as dry as electric which we had before. We've had frost for the past month in the mornings and lost out garden.

**mustlovedogs** · 10-03-2008, 08:02 PM

We had to turn our heat on yesterday! It was so cold, it's only like high-30's to lower-40's right now. Brr!

Richard, you are too funny.....Sara, in the winter months I envy you the warmer clime.....I am sorry you are still homesick.....that may never go away...enjoy the nice weather while you can.....as for me....yes I did turn the heat on earlier in the week just to "take the chill out".... but that was before I had the woodstoves swept on Wednesday.....from now on it will be a woodstove fire to "take the chill out".....hope not to turn the heat on for real till much later.....

I walked to the supermarket the other day and almost passed out on the way home.

My RBGF was obsessed with the weather channel......I thought to myself, '24 hour weather????"

I now own a really neat clock that has the time, date and TEMPERATURE on it.
I peek in on the weather reports on the news and watch the "Forecast on the
8's", I don't even notice the see-thru blouses on the weather babes anymore!
