As I recall, it's usually sometime in early October when I have to turn the heat on. It's been awfully warm here lately, so I have high hopes of perhaps setting a new record for living without heat. Care to join me??

I don't know about the heat. September was 10-20 degrees hotter than usual. (May was cool). So, at this rate, I can make it to December, easy.
I am sure usually we have some heat days in October (though few). & I am thinking it is likely we will make it to November this year with no heat. We'll see... Let the contest begin!

I came home today, put on three storm windows, but left my jacket on all day. DD came home from school all sniffly, and it was down to 60degrees in the house, so I relented and put the heat on.
But I'm cheering for the rest of you

Guess it depends where you live. I can assure you that my highest heating bill is DOUBLE my highest air conditioning bill.
I/we are holding off turning on the heat. And it is supposed to be in the low to mid 40's tonight and thru the weekend. (nightime temps)

My grandmother had a chifforobe that had handles in the shape of Chinese characters. It wasn't until I started studying Japanese that we realized the characters were put on sideways.

Actually, I'm glad for the cooler weather. The kind where you can open windows instead of turning on the AC.

Not even close to needing heat yet.

Count me in.

On the heat challenge I shall gladly take you up on that, I haven't even shut the windows yet . Though it is chilly at night, a sweater is sufficient.

I like the challenge idea though.

My indoor temps have been 55 all this past week and it's damn cold. But others here who announced they expected to go without heat til November inspired me and i said to myself, what the h****, if they can do it, i should be able to as well!

Fern - I'm glad you are holding in there. You inspired a lot of us I think. Its about 62 in my house right now which isn't too too bad. I'm still hoping to last at least until Oct. 30th. But I'd like to go as far into November as possible.
