I'd hate to have no heat just because it's warmer than usual outside. That always means it's way cold inside!
It has to be below 55 between 6:00am and 11:00pm, and below 40 between 11:00pm and 6:00am.
I can live with wearing a sweater in the house during the day, but I'm tired of having to wear several layers of clothing, and 2 blankets at night. ~shakes head~

I read this too fast earlier and didn't realize what you were saying. That is bad. my sympathies.
Ouch. I have to have one layer of clothing and three blankets but I get cold very easily. Being light boned and very thin skinned I need more layers than most people. For a normal person to have to do the same is something I wish you could get corrected.
Unfortuantely Terre, it's a City Ordinance, so we have no control. I don't know if private homes have the same issue, but co-ops and condos, since they're apartment buildings for the most part, do have to adhere to it, or can be fined heavily.
Luckily the only times I'm usually affected, are in October, before the heat starts on November 1st, and again in April when the heat gets turned off on March 31st. Usually during the winter months I'm fine. In fact, I often have a small fan on when I'm sitting here on the computer, because all the equipment here gives off heat too.

I remember you mentioning this previously Miss B...it seems very unfair. I'm assuming it's to do with reducing energy usage. When we recently put in reverse cycle airconditioning we also installed 32 solar panels which we're hoping will totally cover our Electricity usage. That way any additional cost for the airconditioning in terms of energy will be covered in a way that is environmentally friendly.
Yes Pen, I had posted it somewhere on the forum before, and yes, I think it's supposed to help with energy, just as Con Ed's reducing electricity power on the very, very hot days during the summer. That's supposed to reduce the possibility of a black-out. Needless to say, I don't like those summer days, but I'd like it even less if we had a City-wide blackout. Been there. Done that. Don't EVER want to do that again.

I do as well.
However if the power reduction results in brown outs you have a different problem. Incandescent bulbs and LEDs handle those easily. With CFLs it can start fires.

I just looked at the weather map for the storm. I am less the 100 miles west of the tag end of the freezing rain part and TWC says we have a 90% chance for rain with a low of 34F. I hope the temp doesn't get lower because a lot of people around here don't know how to drive under those conditions.
