@QVCkitty1  Yes we have gas heat.

We keep ours at 70 - if it gets really cold or it's really windy we will raise it up to 71/72.  

I can't stand it any warmer than that, it gets stiffling in here.  If it's still chilly then it's time to add a sweater and a blanket if we're sitting on the couch.

It's -1 out with a feels like of -26.  I have the thermostat on 68.  That's 1 degree warmer than usual.  It's pretty comfortable.  That's as high as it's going.  If needed, add clothing.

I alternate. When I don't want the heat on, I put a down throw in the dryer for two minutes. I'll do it a few times. So comfy.

BOTH!!!  I hate being cold and it's going to be very cold tomorrow & the next couple of days with wind chills below zero! UGH!

Keep the temp the same and turn on gas fireplace and add layers. I agree -- don't like the cold. After I come in from work I do not want to leave the house until I have to.

We just bundle up....I keep the heat at 64 degrees....DH and I usually enjoy a nice cup of tea and curl up with our fleece Throws in the evening while watching TV and surfing the net.😊 I’ve always found it easier to get warm than to cool off, so 64 is an all around perfect temp for us.

In the morning the wind chill will be -20. Brrrr!!!

I turn up the heat a few degrees until I'm comfortable, and my furnace doesn't run as often. I don't like being cold, but I don't like having my home too warm either - I find the right temp for whatever the temperature is outdoors. I don't care if it costs me an ext $20/month in electric costs. I wear warmer clothes when it's this cold, but I refuse to sit around all bundled up under blankets or quilts or jackets.

Our thermostat sits on 72 year round, which is the magic number for all 4 of us.   During bitter cold spells, I am usually in my pajamas and robe, with socks on my feet.
