it's 50 something. thinking seriously about. I like to wait until it's under 55 at night. Thinking about lighting a fire too, but I don't have much wood.
[Oct 17,2010 5:52am - TheRidersofDoom ""]
waited til 58 inside the house, i don't like wearing layers, plus how am I supposed to get chicks naked in the living room during drinking games if it is freezing haha

you have girls come to your place?

It'll easily be December/January before I turn the heat on.

some of my roommates are weenies, so they blasted it up to 70 on one of the first signs of cold weather. ugh.

Hasn't dropped below 66 yet and I still have the ac in the window.
[Oct 17,2010 10:26am - ala ""]
i usually try not to turn it on unless there is a danger of the water pipes freezing or bursting
i love the cold

where do you live, virginia? It's definitely dropped to the low 50s within the last week in MA. Granted it hasn't stayed there, but I saw a thermometor read 52 on one of the mornings this week.
I don't have heat.

I usually dont turn it on till november even though heat is included with rent here. since im getting thrown out on dec 1st, i have had the heat cranked all week. Since I like fresh air there are windows open.......

Turned on around last week. It snowed two days ago. I used to wait until late in the fall to turn it on, but I've developed cold urticaria over the past few years so I look like I'm covered in goddamn bee stings if I let the house get cold.

Oh I meant not below 66 in my apartment.

Putting on a fire is okay because fires are cool. But turning on your heat before winter is total fail. Get the fuck out of new england and move to flordia
[Oct 18,2010 9:04am - timma ""]
I turned on my heat for the first time in this particular apartment the other day, just so I could get the gnarly burning dust smell out ahead of time.
It went from 58 degrees to about 85 in roughly 2.3 seconds. Last time I do that...
[Oct 18,2010 9:22am - boxxy ""]
I hate this time of year. (at least inside.) it's fucking beautiful outside, and people just get freaked out cause they think it's GOING to get cold... so they turn their heat up... while normal people just wear a sweatshirt (or not, it's still over 50) so that when people like me get on the train, go into someone's office, or go to someone's house WITH a sweatshirt on, i sweat profusely. It sucks. It really doesn't make sense, it's cold enough outside that people are putting on sweatshirts and jackets.... so why would the T keep their heat up to fucking 75? With all the people on the train it feels like 85 (probably is 85). Can't we assume that people that are on the train are going to be dressed for the weather outside while riding on said train? It's miserable, public transportation should keep the temp at about 60, at least in the winter.

I turned mine on last week after several mornings below freezing outside.

I may be a flatlander where I'm at now, but at least I have balls.
I also grew up in Texas, you niggas complain about how hot it gets in the summer and you don't know shit. "omg, wheres the AC!?!" Bunch of pussies on this board. Beelze was right all along
[Oct 18,2010 10:07am - the_reverend ""]
the heat just came on in my work today. sounds like a jet landing over my head. I've only got 1-2 more days of wood left. I need to pick up some of the cord+ that I have sitting at my brothers. Last year I only burn 2/3-3/4 of a cord.

I grew up in Sarasota, FL. Summer here is nothing and winter doesn't bother me unless it's a blizzard.
The fact that it's too cold for some people this early on makes me laugh though. I mean, yeah it gets chilly sometimes, but in another two months is when you should start complaining. For now, enjoy the brisk days and last glimpse of the sun because it won't last long.

Upper Valley, off Route 89, in the foothills. Gets chilly up here, but I love this time of year.

if I were on 89, I would probably turn my heat on in august.

It's a dry cold
I just got back from hunting in Pittsburg, NH this weekend. Rain + 40 degrees + wind = fucking brrr. Pittsburg is still awesome though.

CSB. but what is really c is that he got an external wood furnace last year to burn all the wood that he's cleared out of his land. The thing burns any wood and is tied into his oil furnace.

Did Jefferson, Galehead and the twins last weekend. 15 degree mornings, rime at alpine zone, strawberry blonde hash and headz in the montane, sub alpine. The AMC is for faggots. Get rid of the office on Joy st in Boston so you can afford to be the real stewards of the wild. Fuckin Harvard grads..

my landlord has had the heat cranked for the last two weeks. it pisses me off. since it's included in the rent i have no control over it, but it hasn't been cold. i have to keep my windows open and fans going in order to keep it from being 1000 degrees. i normally wouldn't even touch heat until snow is falling.

I'll never turn on the heat, cold is just an excuse to wear more cashmere.

if it were just me, I would wait until December. But I have to monitor the heat situation of all of the reptiles we currently own and/or are fostering at the moment. It's safe for them at the moment, but the executive decision may happen soon if their temps continue to drop.
[Oct 19,2010 8:34pm - immortal13 ""]
No heat yet. No need for it. I have sweatshirts, don't need public transportation, and happen to love this 50-60 degree weather.

Yeah who's left? Let's hear a roll call. I haven't turned mine on yet. I've been wearing track pants to bed. Haven't gotten to the hoodie stage yet.
[Nov 22,2010 2:58pm - Pires ""]
Fuck that shit. Still no heat. Got the hoodie thing going on at night. Shits too expensive to turn on just yet. Plus i just get the heat from downstairs. Benefits of being on the second floor.
[Nov 22,2010 3:03pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""]
my 'stat is set to 60 most of the time. It's been real mild out here in Midwest land. Last January was fucking frigid though, 0 to -10 for most of January. It's natty gas out here which so far has been much cheaper than oil
[Nov 22,2010 3:06pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
Yeah I'm on 2nd floor with natural gas too. I'm paying over a grand for rent by myself now so I'm going to have to wear 10 hoodies before I think about turning the dial.

I've been sleeping with 3 blankets for a few weeks, but this week it was below 30 outside every night so I slept under 3 blankets and wore 2 hoodies. I feel like a pussy now cause it's so mild outside right now. Then again, the heat is only on in my bathroom, not the rest of the house.
[Nov 22,2010 3:55pm - xmikex ""]
Anyone else have oil heat?
I'm in a new apartment with an oil heater for the first time. We somehow blew through 100 gallons on oil in a month. At first I was like... FU oil crisis, and then I realized how much it was going to cost.
[Nov 22,2010 4:04pm - the_reverend ""]
huh... I didn't know that anyone under 80 still had oil heat.
[Nov 22,2010 4:26pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""]
Oil is a joke. Even Flava Flav knows that! But seriously, if you can get gas do it, seems like the Northeast has a stranglehold on using oil though.

Propane FHA, new furnace last year with Obama rebate at tax time. Heat is at 60 right now, and it feels rather raw in here.

In my small apartment, all the heat comes in through a grate on the side of the stove. Add to the fact that we weather stripped most of the windows and it's been pretty cheap. I hadn't been planning to turn it on so early but about the beginning of the month our landlord came in and showed us how to turn the pilot light on in the stove and it's been on low most of the time since.
[Nov 26,2010 4:19pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
I caved in last night and turned it on. My family was scaring me into thinking my pipes were going to freeze if I kept up with that shit.

I didn't cave because I was cold, but I had to turn on a space heater in my room for my hedgehog. Ambient room temperature needs to be at least 70. Sucks, but totally worth it to have this little guy around.
