a balmy 53.4 now

the sun porch where I keep plants for winter is probably warmer,
there is an old portable floor heater in there

I like a cool house, but that is too cold for me! We keep our heat at 63.

They won't freed till it gets down to zero or below. And we turn off the outside taps to prevent them from bursting.

i'm guessing it's probably 54-56 f where i'm sitting (i'm near the front door and window, world's supply of heat loss there).

it's -14 c out there right now and the baseboard heaters are set to 58.
