Traditionally, Greg's first 70 degree day.

Last year it stayed blue until the end of lift serviced skiing.

The thermostat in the kids' room says 66 degrees....and my hands feel like icicles. I don't mind cold outside and snow, but I want to be comfy inside. I think the furnace needs to come on tonight... So much for being stingy. I'm wearing a windblock fleece right now and contemplating glove liners. :eek:

Put the same on the kids and we can leave the heat off until December! :D The little one has already figured out how to cover himself up with blankets at night... ;)

Yeah, except they like to strip all their clothes off and run around naked. :eek:

I'm all for saving money... now I understand why my mom kept the heat off as much as possible.

Today was nice, had the windows open enough to warm up a bit. Nice and cool at night... the heat stays off until the house hits 50...

I already told my better half that the heat does not go on until November 1st and it also needs to be below 65 in the house.

These guys actually have a contest on who holds out the longest before turning the heat on.

They even have a set of rules

If you turn on the central heating appliance for the purposes of heating the whole house -- you lose.

Allowed:
Space heaters
Electric Blankets
Radiant heated floors (if it is a single room)
Heated rugs (nice Pippi- a new angle!)
Sweaters, flannel lined pants, long underwear
Canoodling
Fireplaces

And, of course, whiskey.

The mosquitoes were still alive and biting at the soccer game last night. None of our summer flowers have died yet. Well, the leaves are changing, but they do that way south of here too. Dammit, we need cold!
