I'm in Texas and it's 31 right now. I don't really have a thermostat, my house only has one gas space heater. I've got it blasting and it's only got the temp up to 64 which is way too cold for me; I'd prefer 70+. I generally don't use the heater at night unless it's just ridiculously cold, I just worry about something bad happening when I'm sleeping.

For your own safety turn it off when you sleep. Also if necessary I'd close doors to the room you're in and put a towel under them as this will trap heat for your space heater making it not have to work so hard to heat the space you're in.

Just wear some extra clothes to bed, that usually does it, space heater electric bills can get pretty hefty.

Our pipes froze twice in the past two weeks or so :( The toilet wouldn't flush and I first just assumed they decided to do construction and shut off the water without informing us (it happens a lot, but is a pretty dumb theory for winter), but I was really confused since the hot water to wash my hands worked. We had to blowdry the wall of the bathroom to defrost the pipes. So I'm going to go with "it's probably not warm enough in here." Of course we have giant radiators and drafts so it feels really warm in the bedroom, cold in the hallway, and freezing in the bathroom.

If you're having a lot of problems with freezing pipes, it helps to wrap the pipes in a layer of foam.

I love the target fuzzy blankets. A lot of quilts and duvets look really nice but they just can't compete with the softness of those blankets. They're really cheap though so they're probably made of children's dreams and industrial waste.

if the temps are getting that bad run a very slow amount of water from the pipes in all the faucets
just enough for a tiny steady stream. It'll keep the water current moving thus preventing freezing.

We have 4. At least those dreams are now being used for a good cause. And now dreamless, the children can spend their lives sewing me more fuzzy blankets.

It's actually been unseasonably warm for the past couple weeks here. Snow is melting and there are puddles! It seriously feels more like March.

I always find that the best way to cheaply heat a room is to close the door and light a bunch of candles. I have a ton of candles that I'll bring out when it's chilly. So long as you blow them out when you go to sleep, a few hours of candles burning will make your room plenty toasty and probably make it smell nice too.

It really doesn't heat up the place that much. The cold pouring in from the windows does a great job of neutralizing it.

yellow tail wine is so great. excellent tasting wine for prices that are inexplicably lower than even local wines.

yeah i'm back in this thread, after embarassing myself greatly a few weeks ago because too much liquor.

Dude YT merlot is my favorite. Their whites are also quite good. I had Tilapia yesterday with it. Awful pre baked Tilapia but was a great wine. If I had some lemon fish mighta gone better. Seriously its like 5 dollars or less a bottle too. Fantastic.
