House just hit 63. I was fine under a blanket, but I noticed my fingers were stiff trying to type. Kicked the heater on for the first time this winter set at 68.

I don’t even turn my heat on until the temperature gets in the 40’s each year.

Turned it on last night for the kids well being. We shut the vents in our room.

My house has hit 57 and I still don't have the heat on. My wife and I like it cold though.

ETA: That's at night though. During the day our house will hit 62-63 right now.

63 here in my home as well. We lost power last night and did not come on until a few minutes ago. Got down to 58 but with sweat pants, t-shirt and a flannel shirt, it was comfortable.

I live alone so I've found my sweet spot at 65. I'll lower to 63 or 64 on occasion but it becomes just a bit too cool for me after a while. Back to 65 and all is well.

The government says keep it at 78 in the winter and 68 in the summer, so I keep it at 78 in winter and 68 in summer...

Sounds like mine. I have to brave frigid temps at night, with all fans on full spin. I have a little space heater in the bathroom, where it gets super chilly. She is nice enough to pre-heat the bathroom for my morning shower.

Mine was on at 64. My wife loves it cold, bitterly cold.

In the summer, she sets it at 68 or 69. Geesh!
