62 tonight, 54 to start tomorrow. Thunderstorms (in November???) tomorrow and dropping temps. Tomorrow night? Snow, sleet and freezing rain, low of 21.
What does this mean? It means either A) we'll get very little, and the panic will look stupid, or B) We'll get horrid weather and it'll be hard to get to work on Thursday. Trust me, it'll be A.
Everyone in this damn state panics when the first winter advisory is issued. They flock to the store, to the gas station, to the Dollar General...whatever. Trust me, folks...even if we got 4 feet of snow, the trusty snow plows would have us out in less than 24 hours. Quit with the nonsense. Let's just go on about our business.
I am very thankful that I made it through November with very little usage of the furnace. Propane is expensive. I can't complain now if I have to crank it up. Besides, we keep it set at 58 most of the time. Throw on a sweatshirt, kids, winter is coming!

I'm coming to your house. SOMEBODY keeps raising the temps in the house to 73 at night. I'm laying there melting...dying a slow heat related death. Or I could go sleep outside, but you know...it's dark out there.... Hee...

58????!!! You're lucky to be so young and have a healthy metabolism. I don't let the thermostat go below 72. Ever!! Plus we have birds and it's really hard to put sweatshirts on them.

Well, at least the girls are used to the chilly atmosphere, and rather than griping about being cold here, they wrap up in one of Aunt Ruby's Afghans.
I only keep the house 58 at night, though.
Ouh, we have low thirties coming tomorrow night. And my propane for the kitchen heater is at the deer camp. :o( The rest of the house is on a system. I usually keep it at 62. Sometimes we run it up to 70 first thing in the morning to get the cold out. But we still have so many leaks from after Rita. - Barbara
I take care of my elderly mother and she complains that she is cold when I keep it at 68. I tell her to put on some clothes but she just crawls into bed and complains.
I hate hwen they call for winter weather. People become idiots!
