I feel that pain. Fortunately I have a second zone for upstairs, where the bedrooms are, that I can leave off. Even when I have that zone on it's set cooler than downstairs to avoid the hot bedroom issue. Humidity, both high and low, affects me more than temps, but with baseboard hot water heat I won't need the humidifiers fired up until winter.

No but it had to be in October. I think the whole fight to turn the heat on for as long as possibly is silly. If someone really wants to save on their hearing costs then turn your heat off for a day during a cold spell...

Thank you for proving my point. I’d say that’s a no, at least not with government attorneys and/or emergency services.

People don't even read what the State of Emergency is specifically for, they just assume it means they are supposed to stay home. Some times that is the case, often it isn't.

If it was just me then the heat would've stayed off but I figured I'd throw my bride a bone. Wait, wut

Long work day today, is the storm off? Is it back on? Off again? Winter cancel?

It was early here based on 21 seasons of records. The average dates are 10/12 for first frost, 10/22 for first freeze and 10/28 for first hard freeze.

Low of 28. Managed my first frost, freeze, and hard freeze all on the same night, the last time that happened 2021.

My thermostat kicks off between 65-67 depending on which cycle during the day. Made it down to 28.

I caved, flipped the heat on just now, it was 59 downstairs. 29 degrees and still dropping, can I get to 28...

Yes, 29 here, just down the road from there currently. KMGJ is a good radiation spot.

Like you ever watched it...

To that point I posted this is the NW thread

The forecasted low for tomorrow morning is 29 here, up from a forecasted 26 when I looked yesterday morning. I don’t know if that will be enough for me to flip on the heat but looking at the weekend as a whole I’m guessing it will be on for a bit at some point. Now as we look at this potential nor'easter I can’t help but think back to falls like 1995 and 2002 when we flipped from warm and dry to stormy and eventually snowy. Now before some weenie starts screaming about how nothing this year looks the same as those years, blah, blah, blah all I’m saying is sometimes, just sometimes, we can look back at an event and say that it started it all. In the words of Rudy’s best friend Pete in that classic movie “Having dreams is what makes life tolerable.” (STFU @BxEngine)

Bro...priorities! LOL

.40, was muggy this morning around 8am, not anymore.

Agreed, pretty cool to see predication moving in two different directions.

Based on that, another below average season IMBY.

85 for a high at home, glad I’m not there. Yes, it’s 90 here in Grapevine but that doesn’t bother me as much as the hot temps at home would. Gotta head back tomorrow but at least fall temps arrive on Wednesday.

What are you talking about? Did you think I meant that 85/65 didn't feel too bad from inside a home? LOL

I can't compare it to back then, my son and daughter in law have only lived here since '22. They are in a really nice spot right off Main Street so Grapevine is very walkable...thankfully ;-). This is our fourth visit, we like it but the kids are moving back north early next year to be closer to all the family. 85/65 currently but it doesn't feel as bad as it sounds. I know, I sound insane to myself as I type that.

Low of 38 again at home, low of 68 here in Grapevine, TX

The NWS definition of frost is 36 or below, so yes, so close.

38 was indeed the low this morning.

I head out on Thursday morning for a long weekend to Texas to meet our new granddaughter. So I'll miss one cool day but then see things warm right back up again. Not gonna lie, I had a similar feeling in that I was going to be pissed if I missed some legit cooler weather.
