In reply to the discussion: Cold weather Duers, what do you set your thermostat at during the day and at night? [View all]NEOhiodemocrat
(912 posts)the farther you get away from the wood stove the colder you get! Also learned people are right, heat rises. If it gets to cold in the downstairs I go sleep upstairs. It is 70 right now in the living room, but we were gone most of the day so temp is down in the stove, 66 here in the next room by the computer. Probably about 65 in our bedroom. We do have one of those oil filled electric register heaters down in the cellar to keep the pipes from freezing and a heat wrap on the line out to the well. I find dressing for the weather is very important. I can really layer on the clothes in these cold months. When it went to 15 degrees a couple of nights ago I wore a knit hat in the morning until the house heated back up a bit. And I never go around in bare feet, good houseslippers are a must.
