Same here, though I tend to turn it on a bit sooner now that we have kids. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm down in the basement re-lighting the furnace...

I assume this was what you linked to, but the link didn't work for me, so I'll post the text for anyone else that the link didn't work for:

A frost or freeze will affect much of northern and central New England, upstate New York and the northern tier of Pennsylvania Thursday night and early Friday morning. Chilly Canadian air will follow a cold front on Thursday. Clear skies and light winds will allow cold air to sink at night, so valleys will have more frost than ridge tops. Another factor will be longer nights; this allows plenty of time for cooling to below or near freezing.

Temperatures will plunge below 30 degrees over typically colder spots in northern New England and northern New York. This will allow the first widespread hard freeze to grasp the area. In upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania, temperatures will be near or above freezing, making it a more patchy frost. All across the area, temperatures will be typical of early to mid-November!

We're two months ahead of schedule! This means typical mid Feb. conditions in Mid Dec. WOO HOO!

before we bought our house, we lived in an apartment that had it's own furnace. we were on the top floor of the building so I wouldn't have to turn the heat on until mid-december because everyone below me was cranking theirs!

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

In my new place..heat is not included so I'll wait until November to turn it on..I can always wear a sweater or go under a blanket if I'm cold..

Hey forgot to ask DID you guys do that canoe trip to the Dacks yet ??

Nope. We 86'd the trip. His wife started chemo last week. The surgery was successful, but she's in treatment for 3 months followed by about a month of radiation. He's been outta work since Feb. and doing work on a 1099 basis, but that's slowing down due to the credit crunch hitting developers so he wants to hang on to his cash anyway. We're gonna revisit the trip next spring.

Thanks, he's had a bumpy 2008, but us PA types are hardy. I went through a similar situation in 2001 when it rained, it poured. It didnt kill me, and it made me stronger (Nietsche) He's managed to turn a few lemons into lemonade and roll with the punches, so to speak. Matter of fact, he hasn't been happier since being laid off despite the setbacks and belt tightening. I got him to put some cash in precious metals a coupla weeks ago, so he's pretty stoked today. Just got off the phone with him a few minutes ago. :smile:
