IT's WINTER!

It snowed last night and there is a nice white covering on the ground. It is cold. 25 degrees is a lot colder than the 55 degree weather we were having a week ago! Saw this article in the paper...and made me think of "you-know-who":

"How low can thermostat be safely set?" With winter looming and heating costs on the rise, many people will be keeping their homes on the chilly side this winter. It's an effective strategy; it's estimated every degree lowered on the thermostat lowers the heating bill by about 3%. But how low can you safely go? The Am. Coll. of Emergency Physicians says that 65 degrees during the day and 55 degrees at night is the lower limit for most people, provided they bundle up. People taking certain meds or suffering from certain diseases may not be able to tolerate those temps, said Dr..., "The increases in heating costs can have a terrible effect on the poor and elderly", he said.
