We're lucky yo hit 40% humidity most of the time here in Colorado. Yeah Semi - Arid I believe is the correct term.

In winter, or thermostat is 65 in the morning and evening on weekdays, and all day on the weekend. Weekdays during the day, it's 55 and at night it's 60. Our house is a solid masonry house from the 30s and has no insulation, and no good way to add it. It leaks heat so much that the car parked next to the house in the driveway never gets frost.

We like to keep all the rooms in our house around an average of 68-71 degrees F. during the winter months. This requires us to set the temperature on the lower rooms of the house to about 65 degrees and the upper rooms of the house to about 60 degrees with the exception of my room in which the thermostat needs to be brought to about 72 degrees to generate an equilibrium of about 70 degrees throughout the upper floor of the house. Once this equilibrium has been met, I have to drop the thermostat all the way down to 50, otherwise my room will be an ambient of 80 degrees in the middle of winter.

Huh? I just leave the windows open and it's fine.

But when I spent several years in Oregon, I'd leave it around 67-68 during the days and 60 at night. I'd either turn it down to 60 or off when I left the house. I also like it colder inside and enjoyed being able to wear a sweater or sweatshirt most of the time.

Normally I turn it down to 58 during the day, and have it crank to 68 at about the time that my wife should be returning from work. It's comfortable and it keeps the bills down.

Winter? Snow? Here in Simi, we're having ANOTHER heatwave and I have to run the AC.

It was 33c (91f) today which is ridiculous. Don't worry though In 7 days it's supposed to be 3c (37f)

We live in brick-lined house circa. 1870 construction (not sure what idiot came up with lining homes with bricks for insulation), so we heat it as minimally as possible. The thermostat is 64° from 6pm to 10pm, and 50° all other times. (280 gallons of oil last season)

Yes, we get frost on the walls.
