canyonwalker"The heat is on, on the street" Glenn Frey sang in the soundtrack of the 1984 hit film Beverly Hills Cop (IMDb link). Well, as of this morning the heat is on, in my house.
In these shoulder seasons between summer and winter we like to skip running the heat or AC, instead opening and closing windows strategically to moderate temps inside the house. The weather becoming cool enough that we need to turning on the heat indoors is one of my unofficial gauges of the changing season.
Well, after warm temperatures a week or 10 days ago the weather turned back toward normal then dipped a bit below average. The past few nights it's dropped to lows of around 50° F. I've awoken to find the thermometer connected to the heater downstairs registering 65° F (18° C) indoors. Upstairs, where we sleep, it's warmer. But this morning it was cool enough in the rest of the house that I turned on the heat and set it at a conservative 69° F.
Winter's Coming!
