Thanks to a warm fall, we made it pretty far this year before having to turn on the heat. This morning I finally caved. I was hoping to make it through the weekend (it’s supposed to warm up), but no such luck.
We did endure the lowest inside temperature we have in five years, so that’s something.
Here’s how this year stacked up:
- 2011: October 20 (inside temp: 60)
- 2010: October 24 (inside temp: 63)
- 2009: October 2 (inside temp: 63)
- 2008: October 16 (inside temp: 61)
- 2007: October 11 (inside temp: 63)
- 2006: September 21 (inside temp: 64)
- 2005: October 24 (inside temp: 55)
- 2004: October 5 (inside temp: 58)
- 2003: September 29 (inside temp: 58)
You live in different world. In Phoenix it’s still in the 90’s. Indoor heat? Thanks to you (keeping up with the Hendricks), I turned off gas heat entirely last winter. One night it got to 38 inside. Don’t tell my wife. She’s still unhappy about that. But my kids at home are 17 & 21 so no problems there.
