Wow, its getting chilly outside in the morning

[Bateluer]

I try not to run the AC/Heat in the winter months here, letting my computers provide some heating by running S@H at night, with two SFF systems running it 24/7.

Last night, however, my internet stalled, and all Seti computations were ceased, allowing the computers to go to idle status.

The result? Its fricking cold inside my apartment too!

I hear ya

Leaving for work at 12:15am is becoming less and less fun.

Even if I had a CRT still, it would be turned off, not just in standby, at night.

welcome to 3 weeks ago for me....

it gets quite bright and sunny during the day, and my office is always toasty but the wind outside is bitterly cold.

im glad i got a new radiator installed in my room when we upgraded the central heating to a combi boiler (no more boiler to heat the water then store it in a tank, just super hot water as an when you need it) my bedrooms superb on a morning now...actually dont mind gettin out of bed because my room is no longer like the inside of a freezer

Welcome to my world ... northern Alberta, Canada ... this morning when I went out to start my car it was -32 degrees Celcius (-26 Fahrenheit). I'm glad I plugged it in yesterday or it wouldn't have started. Of course, then I wouldn't have been able to make it to work.

Put it this way, I live in a valley, and I work outside the valley. The car warms up on the way to work (25 minute drive), but when I drive back into the valley, because the car isn't working hard enough, the engine temp plummets and cold air comes back out the vents

Edit: -42 C and -43F with the windchill factored in

Shoot, its about 45, 40 after wind chill right now. After a few years of living in Phoenix, thats damn cold.

Running the heater will cost money, so I don't want to do that unless I have to. Its cool enough in here to drop the idle temp on my X2 4200 from 28C to 24C.

I'm going to pick up another set of long johns after payday, definitely will need them when I go back to Michigan for Christmas.

That's impressive... I have never seen a car engine's temp drop while driving. What kind of car are you driving? Also just curious what kind of work do you have up there in Alberta?

it was around 60ish around me.

I was walking about in my flip flops

 

[JS80]

seriously dude it was like 60 degrees this morning...my ballz froze and i had to go back in to get my ski jacket.

 

[JulesMaximus]

It was in the low 60s here today...supposed to drop down in the 30s tonight. That's about as cold as it ever gets in SoCal...unless you're up in the mountains.

 

[Kalvin00]

26 here this morn, high of 54! brrr


Supposed to be mid/upper 60s for highs this weekend! woohoooo

 

[bobdelt]

wouldnt it be cheaper and more efficient to run the heat than the pc?
