What do you do to stay warm in frigid weather? Its's 8 degrees by me and feels like -11.

Currently low 30s south of Pittsburgh and snowing - getting 5-7 inches - booo. 20s the next two days.

I have my Duraflame heater going in the kitchen - I've been cooking and wrapping.

I dress in layers. Generally a mock or turtleneck and a sweater, hoodie or sweatshirt type top over it. Pants or joggers. And Iwear Muk Luks slipper sox in the house.

I wear Cuddl Duds in the evening and even to bed. I'm always cold - I have a down blanket on my bed.

Outside a down jacket or coat. When doing my walking a hat and boots. Gloves.

I have a Duraflame fireplace insert in my living room too - I run that in the evening.

It's remained at 14/15* all day, but feels like -2/0*. Currently snowing.

I've become spoiled by the gas fireplace insert we had put in this past spring. It's so easy to click the remote and instantly have flames.

It's 40° right now. A cold front is moving in this afternoon. The low is supposed to be 14-16° It will also be cold Sun.

Back in the 40-50's next.

I stay warm with my space heater when I need to turn it on. I wear wool ragg socks or thermal hot feet socks to keep my feet warm. When my feet are warm I stay warm.

We have an electric throw & an electric blanket.

I live in CO and it has been bitter cold with snow, wind and low temperatures. Layers is the best way to stay warm when you go outside. Inside we have our heat up and the fireplace going. I also have a heated throw that I use when I am sitting in my chair and reading which is every night!

My area of southern WV is at 47 right now and a bit overcast; pretty much the calm before the next rain and snow event with major drop in temperatures the local weather girl is calling "dangerous" cold.

The house is warm at 70 degrees, but I've never been a fan of long sleeves, so if I feel a chill, I grab one of my hooded housecoats as a cover up. I use a Dyson heater to warm up the unheated laundry area if I need to be out there.

@JeanLouiseFinch I have a gas fireplace downstairs. Agree it's great. In 2010 lost power for 4 days due to heavy snow - that fireplace kept the downstairs and the upstairs living/dining rooms warm - it was a Godsend.

I know....it's 74 at 1:30 and I'm freezing. I have a heating pad on to get warm. My house is cold but it's nice outside. I'll take this over 119 any day.

I'm in east central Pa and it's in the low 30's at the moment. Snow starting after midnight and to be in the mid 20's to mid teens on Sun. We've been having nuisance snow every couple of days. Tired of the cold and snow and it's not even winter yet.

We're down to 18 now. I can feel the cold through my slacks. It's been snowing off and on all day, we shopped for groceries today. Tomorrow we're staying in. SW MI. I layer clothes in the mornings. Not classy looking, (hahahaha) but warm. So it's ok by me.

Started out at 17 this morning, but are at a balmy 35 right now! It's supposed to start snowing soon, but who knows. At least we have a cozy fire going.

Stay warm everyone!

We're having a heatwave in Colorado. Been in the 60's and 70's for several days. My thermometer on my deck right now is reading 70'. December???? Saving money on my heating bill that's for sure.

I'm sad to say it was -20 this morning. We are in a cold freeze for the next couple of days. This goes well with the foot of snow we got earlier. Boo!
