Low of 49 and exactly 1.00” of additional rainfall, bringing my four day total to an even 2.00”. Love it.

56 degrees and cloudy. Nothing showing on radar at all. But a real light drizzle.

Cold and damp…

The heat is on for the third straight day.

It’s unfortunate, but it would be damp & miserably chilly without it. The time of year makes no difference, it’s all about the current temperature reality over multiple days.

My house is still at 65. I typically turn the heat on when it gets down to 58.

Agree 100% on the time of year. Several years ago I had the AC cranked on Christmas Eve.

It really comes down to what the people you live with can deal with. Our heat is at 67 because I know my wife would be miserable if the house was low-mid 60s. If I lived here alone, it would be a different story.
