Going to attempt a personal record tomorrow: greatest difference between interior and exterior temperature. (I may include the wind chill while I'm at it, though it really doesn't apply.) Expected wind chill factor of -40F. Or, -40C, take your choice. Goal temperature for inside: 90F.

Damn, 90F is 32C. I don't even think my furnace could get the house that high even if I wanted to. I tend to keep it around 20-22C.

Welcome to the world of -40 though. :p Thankfully it warmed up here.

-26C (-38 with windchill) outside and 22C inside. We actually got like -5C the other day.

I was at a friends years ago, he had a wood stove, and a kerosun heater,
it was -20f Outside we had it to 85f inside way too warm; had to open the door to let the
room cool down.

71f inside and out. The Window a/c is On.

Someone is burning some campfire wood outside, so I can not open the windows.

High temp here today was 83f, low was 64f. :)

Outside 20.375°C (-)

We had a heat wave a week or so ago, it's over now, feels good to be in lower 20's again. It was slowly getting close to 30 in the house. 25-26 in most rooms. My portable A/C unit helped get through it though as I could at least make my office like 22 and hang out in there.

Been toying with the idea of adding an exhaust vent going to the attic with insulated/sealed damper setup, and an outside air intake for the furnace return. It could act as an economizer, when it gets cooler out I kick it on and it sucks in cool air from outside. More effective than opening windows if there's no breeze. If I design such a system it needs to be very thermally sound though for winter.
