I’m resisting running the heater. / myLot

After so many days of 70+ degrees temperatures, it was 28 F (-2C) this morning, but I resisted turning on the heat. It’s 42F now, and it still feels cold. The dog is under the blanket, but the dog gets under the blanket in any weather. If I had realized how cold it was going to be last night after midnight I would have turned the heater on for sure. Are you running the heater, the air conditioner, or nothing at all?

Heat has been running steadily up north since before we arrived in FL on Dec. 4th. No a/c needed for several weeks in FL. Put your heat on if you’re cold!

I was trying to save money, but I ended up turning it on.

@AmbiePam You can save money in other ways. Never deprive yourself heat, especially now since you aren’t feeling well.

We left the heat running during the beautiful weather. The nights still dropped into the low-40s the last few days. Right now it's still only 36F here. The Weather Channel says we could get icy rain and/or snow this afternoon/evening/overnight.

I gave in and turned on the heater. And, my dog came out from under the blanket.

I hope you don’t get snow.

@AmbiePam We're clear up to 41F now and The Weather Channel now shows possible snow tonight.

Thanks. I really hope we don't, too.

I had the heater on this morning, but it is a nice sunshiny day now..and warm in here with the sun streaming in. Sadly, probably will be the last day for awhile.
