It's still disgustingly warm here in NM.  It'll cool off for a day then warm up again to 60s.  We've had one day, December 4th,  where it was at or below "normal".

 

Again, i say to get yourself a heated throw.  Cheaper than cranking up you house heat and you'll be comfortable.

Colder here as well.  Keep my temp at 68 and do not touch no matter what.  I toss on extra and I don't mind sleeping in cooler temps and sleep better.

I would pass out with the thermostat in the 70s. I’m hot if it’s warmer than 68 inside this time of year. 67 even better.

We’ve had a stupid warm winter so far which isn’t good. No snowpack

I prefer colder weather than high heat and killer humidity.  I always said it is easier to add a layer than strip down to keep cool.

 

 

I have no idea why I am freezing today.  Normally I am good with keeping it at 68 in here.  

 

I keep trying to get Petunia to get on my lap,  she is like a 9 lb, furnace.  Any other time that cat is happy to accomodate me but she prefers her mother (DD) today.

I'm on Long Island and I feel the same way!  

We haven't gotten out of the 20s here in about 2 weeks.  The sporadic snowstorms are crazy too.  I know it's winter, but I don't think we've gotten this much snow so early on in years.  It's neverending.  lol

 

I'm in my 40s and I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with age.  Some people can handle the cold, while others can't.  I feel like I can't get the chill out of my bones.  I did see we're supposed to warm up to the 40s this week, so I'm sure I'll feel better then.  Either way, I'm going to look ahead to the longer daylight hours that are slowly creeping up on us each night and hope for spring.  Winter has never been my thing, especially as I get older.

I noticed after I had a major health event 2 years ago that I was much colder.  The same thing happened to my BF several years ago. 

 

Do think the humidity makes a huge difference. I remember living in Northern NY state and the temps were very cold, but it was very very low humidity and the cold didn't seem as bad.

I hate winter, too, but I'm chuckling at waiting for spring. It's been winter for what? Two weeks?

I don't usually mind cool weather but it has been cold for a couple of weeks, I'm in PA just east of Pittsburgh-it's 34 right now.
