asterrocMan I'm freezing. My house does ok w/o the gas heater on down to 24ºF outside. At and under 24ºF, I'm cold even w/ a sweater on unless I get my landlord to turn the gas heater on. Last year the gas heater cost me roughly $200/month, even when I turned it down as far as possible, so since this year's been warm I've put it off as long as possible. Now, I'm leaving for the weekend tomorrow, so despite it being 21ºF out now with a low of 18º, I don't want to drag my landlord down to turn it on. I've got two radiator-style space heaters running in my bedroom (on different circuits since there's one that can't take a heater at all before tripping and requiring a call to my landlord and a trip to the basement, and I doubt any of the circuits can take two heaters), and my bedroom's been brought up to a toasty 68ºF. But the rest of the house is frigid at around 64ºF. Man, what a difference a few degrees makes.
And yes I'm being sarcastic about 68º being toasty. I'm not actually comfortable unless it's 72º, but at 68º my fingers aren't numb and I can type normally, and Gabe's feet are warm and he's not tucking one up to conserve heat so I know he's warm enough. (At 64º not only are my fingers numb, but my toes in comfy slippers too, and my nose. And I died once in DotA b/c I didn't move the mouse fast enough.)
