All ready have turned the heat on

[retro-man]

It started Sunday when we returned from the beach. It was 64 degrees in the house, too cool for me to sit and work on the computer, so on it went set at 68 degrees to take the chill off. The past 2 nights have been upper 40 to lower 50's. Have had to turn it on the past 2 mornings also. This is the earliest I can remember turning it on, usually the 1st week of Oct. Hope this is not expectations of last year. Just had the a/c on Thursday. Guess no break for a month between a/c and heat.

I turned the heat on Fri. evening to take the chill off as well as both Sat. and Sun. mornings....way too early to start using heat. At this rate my propane bill is going to be ridiculously high this heating season.

Can't remember what day it was last week, Weds morning I think. It was very warm and very humid Tuesday right up till about 2 a.m. Weds and we had the air on, then it just crashed after that. We hardly used the air all summer, maybe 10 times if that.

I have not needed the heat except in the bathroom when I take my shower, YET, but Saturday, the 13th, was the first day in many months that the air conditioners were off all day. We have cooled down to the point where the downstairs unit gets turned off when I go up to bed. AccuWeather said that shots of cold air from the good old Polar Vortex would hasten our cooldown this fall and I guess that is what's happening. No matter what else happens, we will get a frost before the end of October. Some years we have weeks of mild weather after that and other years, it gets cold and stays cold.

We had frost last Fri. The roof of the house was white when I went to work at 7 am.

Last 2 nights all of Northern New England was under a freeze warning. I have had to run heat too. Earliest in the year ever. We are fast approaching going into our second year of very abnormal low temps. Highest we got to this past summer was 89.

AC running here

OMG! It's refreshing to read posts about it being cool and turning on the furnace. We are in the middle of a heat wave in So Cal. Its been up around 100 degrees during the day and was 83 degrees at 9 p.m. last night.

I live a few miles from the ocean so it is rare that temperatures rise above the mid 80's. I'm looking forward to some cool weather!!

Just remember if your heating system is gas or propane make sure you have your heat exchanger checked for leaks and your Carbon Monoxide detector batteries refreshed. It's that season again!

A couple comfortably cool evenings recently but days are yet in the upper 80°Fs into the 90°Fs, and typically high humidity ... far from heating-weather.

 

[hydralique]

Plenty of heat here . . .

How I would love to send a little heat to anyone else, anywhere! It has hit 108 the last two days under my patio cover, plus some humidity, ugh! Today is supposed to be another nasty one but then cooler Wednesday, hopefully this will be the last serious heat wave for the year.

No heat here for a while. House has stayed I the 60's so I'm fine. I'm hoping to hold out until mid to late October, don't mind getting up to temps in the lows 50's inside, with solar gain the house warms up nicely during the day once the leaves are all off the trees.

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

I think it's too soon to, myself...!

Aaarrrrgfh! Wife wants the heat on, so it be! Still used to wearing short sleeves, though...

 

But it's at night when I get cold & want the furnace on... So I picked out a warm, long sleeved PJ's to wear tonight...

 

Then again, why not have a fireplace fire?! <span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body"><span class="UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.$end:0:$0:0">Maybe</span></span></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body"><span class="UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.$end:0:$0:0"> tonight,</span></span></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body"><span class="UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.$end:0:$0:0"> I</span></span></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body"><span class="UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.$end:0:$0:0">'ll</span></span></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body"><span class="UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".a.1:3:1:$comment10152690099386125_10152690746181125:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.$end:0:$0:0"> do...!</span></span></span>

Turned on the Eden Pure

In the living room Saturday for a bit to take the chill off.

Weather predictions this winter are for Bitter temps with Apocalyptic snow fall.

I think I'll keep the Jeep 4x4 for a little while longer.

 

[vintagekitchen]

Had to light the kero twice already to get rid of damp chill in the house. Thought I wouldnt have to until October.

 

[tomturbomatic]

Apocalyptic Snowfall

Love it! We had a storm called Snowmageddon a few years back.

 

[a440]

Bitter temps with Apocalyptic snow fall

Harley I have heard this several times on news programs and internet sites.
Snow issues as far down south as Texas and Louisiana.
Will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
I for one love Fall and Winter. My favorite time of the year!!!

 

[kb0nes]

Apocalyptic and Snowmageddon

Sounds like The Weather Channel to me.... The commercialization of weather, joy. Anything to try to one up everyone else making up names to glorify the weather.

 

[runematic]

I'm hoping to not turn the heat on until October. I like the house a little cool to sleep and I'm not home during the day. My pooch would rather it be cool as well. He really hates the hot & humid weather.

I just ordered propane about five minutes ago. When I filled the tank in February this year, it was $3.23/gal. The price right now is $1.59!! This fill should get me to Feb again (unless we get the bitter cold they're calling for).

 

[norgeway]

You SURE dont need heat

Hear in the South East!!!, it was about 85 today!!!!Im ready for SNOW!!!!
