We finally broke down and turned on the furnace tonight!

[KitchenWitch]

:grr:

I wanted to make it through the winter without turning it on.

1. wimp

*throws snowball to SoCal*

[KitchenWitch]

2. It got down to 36 last night!

and these house have NOOOOO insulation.

[SPKrazy]

3. Well Dang!

haven't had that option in my neck of the woods, sure as hell don't have it here where I'm visiting (Colorado)

brrrrrrr:scared:

[KitchenWitch]

4. Long story short!

Moved in August from Minnesota to SoCal. I would have had the furnace on in Minnesota by November 15th. But here, I was not expecting to turn it on at all. But even *I* had to admit that night time temperatures dipping below 40 calls for turning on the heat.

5. Sorry, it was bound to happen...

I just fired up our woodstove a few hours ago...

[KitchenWitch]

6. waah!

:(

MMMMM

Woodstove heat. :)

I am still trying to get that whiff of natural gas out of my nose from when we turned it on.

[Broken_Hero]

8. Woodstove works great...

plus, a bud of mine has his own sawmill, so I got TONS of free scraps/wood blocks to build up my supply...:D

[KitchenWitch]

12. sounds like a win-win situation to me!

:hi:

7. You're doing better than most!

We routinely cycle ours at night, and in the early morning these days!

:scared:

[KitchenWitch]

11. We need to replace the old old old thermostat

So we can cycle.

9. Wow...

I would have never thought California (other than the mountainous areas) got that cold.

[KitchenWitch]

10. No moisture in the air to hold in the heat!

:scared:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Yeah, I know California is supposed to be sunny and warm!

However.........

And it's not supposed to rain either! :rofl:

Well.......guess what? It does all those things......even down here by sea level.........

Oh well............whatcha gonna do? :hi:

[u4ic]

16. Turn on the furnace, I guess

;) (or pull out the umbrella, as the need arises)

Same goes for here, I guess...some (not our esteemed DUers) think my city is frozen tundra...when we get a 95 degree heat wave, they find it unbelievable. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. It was 30 here last night

And I'm in a valley, about 250 feet above sea level.

Colder'n that north of San Francisco; I heard 26 in Napa.

:scared:

[u4ic]

15. It was warmer than that

here yesterday...

[Whoa_Nelly]

17. Have been having heavy frost the last few mornings here

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

But, at least the cold temps keep the Tule fog at bay! And that's a good thing!

[u4ic]

18. I'm sure getting an ejumakashon

about California :-) :hi:
