About the same conditions here. Is 54 in my place right now (1860 brick building=not a lot of insulation; large, ancient windows on first floor fronting street and courtyard). Okay for sleeping, not so hot for taking a shower. I think I'm just a little out of practice on this whole cold weather thing, especially after last year's non-winter.

Putting up with you would make her a martyr.

Not yet, although yesterday was somewhat nasty, with a 50 degree wakeup call.
I made sure the storms on the second floor are all shut. First floor has none, which is not surprising given that the windows are 8 feet tall. Nevertheless, their lack of even a scintilla of insulation is problematic for sure.

It's sunny and almost 70 out, where are you from?

It was fucking freezing in my living room when I wrote that. And it's going to be about 50 tonight

Finally dropped to a low of 72 overnight....AC was not running 24-7. Which is nice.

Boo-fucking-hoo.

I live in a functioning city half way between the Atlantic Ocean and The Great Smoky Mountains and I have to run my AC a lot.
