True. Might be my last tonight as it looks like it'll get to the upper 20s tomorrow night here.

Won’t be able to do leaves tomorrow with the wind continuing. What a mess out there

Low of 49. One of the biggest days of the year for the kiddos.

my heat has been coming on as needed since the end of September

DCA: +1.0 NYC: +1.0 BOS: +1.0 ORD: +0.8 ATL: +2.5 IAH: +2.5 DEN: +3.8 PHX: +3.5 SEA: +1.7

Same here

He was the leader of that band for sure but it wasn’t just him.

Not much wond here, but we get some occasional gusts…and when we do the oak leaves are pouring. It’s going to be full stick season tomorrow morning.

Succumbed to heat use last week. The 50s over 30s were too consistent to get any warmth in the house.

That’s Sep here. Mid Oct on we’ve been firing up the pellet stove here and there to take the edge off. November the stove is on 90%+ of the time.

I just got one, gonna install tomorrow.

No need to still be pondering this....just looking for the complete facts!

I couldn't make it past the 9th. I've had days since when I did not run the Mini splits at all, but these radiational cooling mornings were too annoying - that cool snap back during that time was one of them. Then, with low sun angles not heating up the next day until 2pm ... forced me turn them on at least for a little while those mornings. In general I agree with you, tho. There's usually a period every late Aug to early Nov in there somewhere where the technology is dormant. This year it seemed to be more Sep 15 to Oct 10-ish

If you bought a house with climo in mind, as you should have, all your trees shading the southern sky are no longer shading. It’s a huge boost to your home’s temperature. If the sun is out then heat is off. Overnight of course is when it clicks on but this is also when the thermostat should be turned way down.

I dunno... Won't be led along on that one. Novembers have been hugely variable in reality, not dependably 'the best' in either direction. I suppose if one's bag is to have that month be excessively variable? then sure ... it was best for their fetish to have that month be all over the place. But I've witnessed Novembers range from 80 F to snow storms... both within the same year, or year-to-year.

The Vatican getting ready to excommunicate him.

I haven’t used the heat yet aside from some space heaters mostly because I just got a new oil tank yesterday and didn’t wanna get oil… But it really hasn’t been too bad other than a few chilly mornings. Another mild fall.

We call it pellet stove season in our house. We've barely used the gas heat yet. The pellets aren't economical to try to supplement the gas heat midwinter, but they're great for the in between seasons

yeah let's keep these 50s rolling for a while, and at least keep the first half of Nov relatively cheap

Finally uninstalled this past week. That should help

would think winds would die down after sunset with the loss of daytime heating....

October is typically the best energy month. No AC and heat. November starts using heat.

higher volume of turkey droppings keeps insolation high and lowers heating bills
