It is 17 degrees outside right now. Frosty to say the least. We have our thermostat set at 70. And it still doesn't feel very warm to me. So we have a few layers on. My daughter has extra blankets on her bed. We should be comfy, but I think the furnace may be having trouble keeping up. What else do you do to keep warm?

We keep ours at 75 in the winter and 78 in the summer. Right now we actually have the air on. After a few days of freezing temps. we got temps near 80 and it got warm in the house. It was 80 in here so I turned the air on. I had the door open but it didn't cool enough for my husband to sleep (he has to sleep days).

I am glade we are not have your temperatures here. Today is supposed to be in the 50's. Night temperatures are in the upper 20's But for some reason it feels colder outside now then it did when I took the kids to school.
We keep our thermostat at 68 during the day and it drops to 60 at night between 9 and 5. Part of our house is not heated and we use a wood burning stove to keep it warm.

I think we keep the thermostat at about 70degree. Sometimes I push it up a bit if someone says they are cold or if they are getting out of the shower. The other day, I put the space heater upstairs to keep the front room a bit warmer. It tends to get a bit chilly there, I think because air leaks from the front door.

We leave our thermostat at 70 too. Actually today my house is having the opposite effect than yours. Normally it still does feel very cold at 70 degrees, but for some reason today the house is very warm, so I've turned the heat down to 67.

That is the same here in southern Indiana. We have our thermostat set at 70 also and when my heat shuts off, it is 71 degrees in here. We have some bad weather coming in tonight also with some snow and freezing rain. We use extra blankets also. Soemtimes we wear thermals to bed too.

This is a cold Chinese New Year. Today it's windy and cold outside. I think it's about 5-13 degrees here. I hope the temperature will be warmer soon.
I love China

Hello dear ersmommy. Now I am back to my home town for the winter vacation, which is much warmer than the place where I work. The temperature in my hometown is 0 to 5 degrees centigrade and the temperature in my working place is -8 to -3 degrees centigrade. I am glad to be back home for the winter vacation. But I don't like it when it is windy and rainy these days because it makes the weather colder. Stay warm,dear friend.
