k2daisyQuestion for the small DW crowd: when do you turn on the heat in the fall?
Do you wait for a certain date? A certain temperature? Or just when it's gotten too cold for you (or your pets) to be comfortable?
We had a big drop in temps at last, and it looks like this one is going to last. It's now consistently in the 40s with a few daytime spurts to the 50s. Our house thermostats says it's 58 inside, but it feels a lot cooler than that.
Aghans and blankets are all over the house. Poor Molly is living under a big fleece all the time right now.
R and I are discussing when to turn it on. I prefer a cooler house so this is nice for me, but tbh now that my hot flashes are over post-menopause it's verging on too cold for me. I doubt we will make it to November 1.
So what do you do?
