34 balmy degrees here in the flatlands; a good harbinger for sure.
Wish I was up in Waistfield or NNY where I'd need to put a jacket on. Washin' the car until the water freezes in the hose :) I am really appreciating that our fiscal year ends this month. I work like nuts now, but when snow season comes, I'm good to go. Now if my lot was only big enough that I didn't have to bag leaves...

My place is down to 67 degrees..with the heat off..but I get residual heat from the storage room below and the hallway on the side which are heated by the complex..plus I think my neighbors on the side have their heat on because I can feel it through the walls..I have electric heat in my new place so all the residual heat around me could save me some money..I'll hold out till it gets into the 50s..indoors..or I'll just fleece it up..

In Allentown PA it went down to 35 degrees and Mount Pocono went down to 30 degrees....Tonight is supposed to be several degrees colder...serious stoke!!! I slept too late to go frost skiing..

That's pretty impressive. How did you manage through that?


Free heat in my apartment building, so obviously people have to take advantage of it. The people below us were straight out of Ethiopia so I'm pretty sure they never let the place get below 85 degrees. Our place never even dropped below 60 at night. I had my bedroom window open all but a few nights.

I had an apartment like that once. It was so hot in there I had to keep the windows slightly open all winter. The place was a shithole but it was all I could afford right after college.

Big inversion at my house this morning. Only got down to 33 degrees with some frost only on shaded roofs. Down in town most peoples' yards were white with heavy frost.

Have you closed your windows yet? ;)

I always keep my bedroom and living room windows open a bit for fresh air..unless it's like 4 degrees out..If I can keep getting residual heat from other apartments..I should be able to keep my electric bill below $30 a month which would be sa weet..the temperature in my place was 64 degrees when I left for work...I'm thinking I'll go heatless until it hits like 45..lol
