About 64F down here but I hide in my "home office" where there's carpet and my PC which helps make it 69F right now. When my wife is outside watching tv, she uses a blanket.

Aw, let her in the house :(

haha, what's wrong with the blanket ? But seriously... I wouldn't leave the tv outside in case of rain.

Yeah, she can still see it through the window...
baaahahahahh :p

77.3, and the only reason I'm warm is because of all the wine I drank with my Thanksgiving dinner. I like it in the 85 degree region.

24 C downstairs in the basement, the woodstove is going. Very comfortable. I had to open the windows an hour ago. It was becoming unbearable in here.
23 C upstairs in the living room, woodstove insert going.
17 C upstairs in the bedrooms. We like sleeping in cool rooms.

2 C outside.

Life is great.

I prefer a cooler climate. At night, it's about 50 degrees outside, and I sleep with the window open, a fan blowing, and a ceiling fan on. I cant stand hot weather and hot temps. indoors.

I have thermostat programmed for 62 at night and during the day and 70 for early morning (when I get up for work) and the evenings from about 6 to 10. My house is 68 right now and I'm pretty comfortable.

Outside is 52ish F (??? I think? I'm not good with Farenheit...it's 11° celsius outside) and 60ish in my room. I'm freezing my butt off in here.

Wow, I just finally had to use the heat in the campus apartment. It didn't seem to be working, so I checked out the thermostat in the livingroom. It's an ancient thing with a bimetal coil and a mercury tilt switch. And there was a wire that came loose, which explained why there was no heat. Resoldered the wire on, and turned the heat on. The room went from 68F to 88F in about 10 minutes. So the heat in here is apparently a manual-control deal. Leave it to its own devices, and it either freezes or roasts the occupants.
The smell of burning dust is always nice too. Gotta love that first-heater-use of the season, followed by opening all the windows and hoping that the smoke detector doesn't go off - if it goes off in one room, it sets off the alarms in the entire building.
