Brewbeer Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Don't understand some of you guys. Why wait until its uncomfortably cold in the house to turn on heat? My thermostat is set on 70 during the day and 66 after bedtime. If my wife is cold, she is not getting out of bed this morning to make blueberry pancakes and hash browns. Makes no sense to me, especially since nat. gas/ oil prices are way down and the summer electric bills were less than normal. You work hard for a living. At the very least, you should eat well and have your family comfortable in your home. 57 is around what I keep my place up in Lake George when I'm not there in winter so the pipes don't freeze in the basement. Its a New England thing. Seeing if you can make it to November before turning on the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 40F low of 38F fog burning off to launch another nice day. Off to the hilltowns with the family later for some prime foliage viewing. just spectacular views with river fog and brilliant colors this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Point, NY Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Actually my wife told me not to, Its really not that bad. If I didn't get up early for Sunday softball the sun would would have warmed the house. As far as energy costs go,I Will save now so I don't pay later, if winter is bad things will go south quickly. I hear you. My wife will put up with all kinds of crap from me but being cold is not one of them. If I didn't throw the heat on by the time it got down to 65, she would throw it up to 75 when I left the house to compensate for how cold she felt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he subscribes to every foliage tweeter feed and then posts only the ones that have pics that support his stance - just like with the "drought" and mets. I had a nice ride to Rhode Island yesterday, despite the rain. Lots of color. Classic fall. Even starting to be past peak in places with bare trees!

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Why even use heat unless it's like last winter?.....I got the windows open right now and it feels good. Unless it's 20F outside, heat is rarely on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We rarely have the heat on here. My windows have been open for the last month straight. Its a waste if temps are not going to remain cold. My room is currently in the mid 50s and its pretty comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I would think maybe they meant km/hr?? 155 km/hr = 96 mph? I was just wondering if someone fat-fingered their units here... Tropical Storms simply do not produce Category 5 wind gusts, **unless** said was measured in a meso/TOR, but even then ... land falling TC's that produce twister swarms ..those are usually in the E-OF 0 - 2 range (which Bermuda does not qualify as a land falling event, anyway). So, logic makes that "155 mile per hour..." statement hugely suspect to put it mildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 down 44? Going over we took back roads to 44 and then 44 all the way but coming back we took Rte 6/101/44. The sun was starting to come out later in the afternoon which made the return a little nicer than the outbound trip but it was pretty both ways. Awesome day out there today though!
