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)

I really really dont wanna turn the heat in yet. Might just have a few small fires in the evenings the next few nights, might as well temper the stove properly anyway. House got to 58 this morning but cooking dinner it went to 74 lol

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

Do you guys remember when you turned on your heat last year?

It was November 13 for me last year.

 

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...

I try to wait until it gets into the 30s here at night.  Saving costs becomes penny wise dollar foolish when it goes subfreezing and can freeze your pipes.

My heat has almost nothing to do with $ and everything to do with laziness. Gotta move stuff to change the filter, gotta get humidifiers running because forced hot air makes me feel like the dewpoint is -44,  my bedroom is at the highest point of our house so it gets hot as hell unless its legit cold weather…etc etc lol

Same here, plus steam heat really makes my allergies act up.  I prefer the space heater in my bedroom over the house heat being on as long as possible.
