    That always is the magical turning point. At least it's out of triple digits. That's what made early October so hard.

      Central heat

      I need to move. I hate the cold. I wish it was in the 80s!!!!well actually, it was 70 today - which was awesome and very abnormal.

        I remember waiting eagerly for Halloween and regretfully for Mother's Day.

        It's gotten a little chilly in the afternoons and evenings but I just try to bake something! Lows next week will hover in the 40s so I'm thinking it'll be furnace time by then.

          Some nights we need the heat - we just had the first frost last weekend. No hard freezes yet, but I suspect we might have one this weekend (highs only in the 40s). But then we will have days like tomorrow where it gets into the 70s. And the AC will probably cycle on and off throughout most of the day and will stay off overnight. But we are hopefully still another few weeks away from needing the heat constantly.

            Update: the Heat is On. We flipped over the thermostat to "heat" on about 10/30, and it actually kicked in one morning last week, but this morning it kicked in several times before 8am so I think this is official.

            Lows are dropping into the 30s next week. *whimper* DH is talking again about moving to Hawaii.

              Brrrr!! We're in that weird limbo where I'll wake up (or the kids wake me up) freezing, so I turn on the heat, then during the day it gets up in the upper 70s, which make my house in the 80s, so I turn on the AC for an hour or so in the afternoon. (See the luxury thread - I pay dearly to keep comfortable...)

                Yep, even turned the heat on here! Turned it about a week or two ago, but had to flip back to A/C a few days this week when it hit 80 and didn't dip much below that at night. I've got the heat set to come on when the house hits 67 so it turns on intermittently from about 9pm to midday the following day, by which point the temp outside and the sun keeps it warm.

                      I don't have central air, so there's no cool option possible. I do have a programmable thermostat with 4 time ranges that all have different temperature settings.

                        Our heat is on. We have five different zones in our house for heat all plumbed separately. It's hot water heat/radiators. I would love to get a nest, but I think we would need five? As it is now, I hate having to adjust all five thermostats when anything changes. The heat system was clearly designed by empty nesters living in a too big space. We use most of it, so the zoning is an extravagance.

                          Heat is on, if I'm cold - I turn it on.
