November heat

Each year we have a goal to avoid turning on our heater until November 1, and I think we have done very well achieving the goal over the years.  October is often very nice, so it doesn’t get too cold in the house until late in the month.  So here is the upstairs temperature this evening:

It was down to 64 on Sunday, so a bit of a heatwave today.  Downstairs it gets significantly colder:

So I really feel it when I work at my desk downstairs for any length of time.

I wear a fleece jacket around the house, as well as wool socks and slippers.  And as it gets colder I will run a small portable heater at my desk for increased comfort.

I’ll hold out a few more days then we’ll splurge and turn on the heat pump.

Happy November everyone!

  1. We turned on our heat one day in October because it was 63 inside, but since then it’s been warmer (like 80-something today outside) so we’ve enjoyed not running it.

    Happy November to you also!
