The central heating is running right now to get the temperature inside the house to at least 50 degrees (the low setting I’ve programmed into my thermostat) . I’ve decided to sleep downstairs in my home office since this is the only room where I actually run a heater; I spend most of my time down there so it seemed like the best place to use a heater . I fired up a Vornado a little while ago, but it hadn’t run in ages and thus the burning of the accumulated dust set off the smoke alarm, and my ears are still ringing.
It’s 7 degrees outside right now, but it apparently feels like -3. I don’t mind when temps drop to, say, the mid twenties, but this is just stupid. At least it’s not snowing. Remind me again why I left SoCal?
I fucking hate winter...

Doesn’t look like I’ve got a fever (just read a temp of 97.3, so I think that’s okay?), but hot dang, my temperature’s been off all day here. I walked in to the house aircon being set at 72 (it’s usually 75 and it’s been in the high 50s outside) and was like, “This is okay? Yeah. Fine. I’m roastin’.” This is after feeling the need to bundle up extra hard off and on again. I feel like death and I can’t even get comfortable enough to pass out for a while. I just wake up coughing anyway. Aaaarrrrrggggh.
tl;dr—could be worse

I am so ready to be done with this winter. We just got snow five times in the space of ten days. It’s supposed to get to 50 today, but we’re going to get snow again on Sunday into Monday. Somebody get me the hell out of here.
If we get cheated out of a decent spring, I will be furious.

4 below and everything’s fine here. It’s actually been a really mild winter, with highs into the 30s most days.
A few years ago we made it 35 days without cracking above the freezing point. It's just about what you're use to. I'm going to Florida in a week, and I'm dreading the possibility of 80s.

In Austin, for reasons that are totally stupid, I went without heat in my apartment for a couple weeks. Not too horrible, because it was Austin, but it was still down in the low 50s inside, and I do not recommend it.
Also, while my reasons for not fixing it right away are as noted, profoundly stupid, the reasons for the failure are readily apparent:
I’m sure you are just as shocked as me that this fine wiring job could fail. One of the units at this apartment complex had burned down a few years before I moved in, and I think I understand how that might have happened.

Unrelated to your wiring issue...but when my gf and I lived in our apartment, we went from March ‘06 through to February ‘07 and never turned the heat on once (NE Ohio). I honestly thought the heat was on, but one cold day in February I was messing with the thermostat wondering why it wasn’t warmer in the apartment . It clicked, and I heard the baseboard heater start ticking . I’d never heard that sound in the apartment, and the dust burning off the fins in the heater told me it hadn’t happened in quite a while.
I wish I could say the same about our house.
