you're like stars
It's starting to get really chilly, especially overnight.. so when do you start fighting against the brr? Do you have a date or temperature you aim for?

When do you Turn the heat on?
Pull out the winter jackets?
Start wearing hats & mittens?
Start wearing winter boots?
 
When do you Turn the heat on? I really refuse to until november the earliest.. Sometimes mid to late november, but we're pushing it already. The overnight temps are dropping pretty low.. It's supposed to be 27 overnight a few days from now -.-
Pull out the winter jackets? Kiddo has already worn his to school a few times because it was around 40. I've been known to only wear my hoodie unless there's snow on the ground.. Even then it's debatable :P I've def shoveled with only a hoodie on. I'm stubborn. Under when it's in the teens out though I usually cave.
Start wearing hats & mittens? really only if it's actively snowing.. mostly because I don't want my hands/head getting wet.
Start wearing winter boots? lots of snow on the ground. Otherwise I just wear my sneakers. I've worn ballet flats with a few inches of snow on the ground before :p
 
When do you Turn the heat on? When I start getting cold (it's already on), I feel like now that I own my own house, I will be comfortable in it.
Pull out the winter jackets? I wait as long as possible, I have a huge collection of hoodies (including lined ones) and I stretch those out as long as I can.
Start wearing hats & mittens? No, real set time. Just when my ears or hands start to get cold.
Start wearing winter boots? When we start getting real snow.
 
When do you Turn the heat on? Probably in January. I use the heat maybe a week out of the year. The A/C runs most of the year. But remember I live in a desert.
Pull out the winter jackets? The first time we go to visit my folks in the winter. They live in the mountains.
Start wearing hats & mittens? Pretty much never.
Start wearing winter boots? The first day of icky rain down where I work. So probably December or January.

My answer totally skews these questions. I have two seasons here: HOT and cool.
 
When do you Turn the heat on? Sometime in september around here lol
Pull out the winter jackets? when the snow is on the ground
Start wearing hats & mittens? snow
Start wearing winter boots? snow.. LOL! I am usually in sandals until then..
 
When do you Turn the heat on? Sometime in December, but it's a day-to-day thing.
Pull out the winter jackets? Never - my boys don't even own anything heavier than a sweatshirt.
Start wearing hats & mittens? Never.
Start wearing winter boots? Never.

Pretty pointless in me even answering this! ;)
 
Heat goes on...well, I think it already has. I don't know - I'm not as fussy about our household temps so my husband sort of keeps that thing under control.

I really only wear my big puffy winter jacket when it's like...below zero. Sometimes even well below zero. Otherwise, I wear my gray fleece jacket from October until the snow melts.
I personally don't really wear hats & mittens, unless I'm going to be outside for a long period of time. Which I generally try to avoid in winter. :)
Winter boots? Only if I'm going outside to build a snowman or go sledding.
 
When do you Turn the heat on? Probably around thanksgiving...depends on when we stop using the Air Conditioner
Pull out the winter jackets? uh, I got my jeans and sweaters out of the back of the closet..but not wearing them yet lol
Start wearing hats & mittens? never
Start wearing winter boots? never
 
When do you Turn the heat on? When it hits the low 60's or high 50's
Pull out the winter jackets? Perhaps January (or maybe not at all)
Start wearing hats & mittens? Only if we go somewhere
Start wearing winter boots? I bought a pair to go see snow. Doubt I'll wear them again.
 
When do you Turn the heat on? Mid-late October here. Have it on for over a week now. At the moment it's just an hour in the evening. It'll probably be late Nov before I have the heat on for any longer than that.
Pull out the winter jackets? I' m not really a jacket person and only wear then when I absolutely have to (i.e. when it snows!), but the kids are wearing theirs since the start of this month.
Start wearing hats & mittens? The kids have worn hats a handful of days so far, but will probably start wearing them daily from mid November.
Start wearing winter boots? Um....never.
 
Do you have a date or temperature you aim for? Nope.
When do you turn the heat on? We have a thermostat, so the heat kicks on when the temperature inside is less < 71 degrees regardless of what time of year it is.
Pull out the winter jackets? It just depends on the year. This year it's pretty cold already, so the boys are wearing their cold weather jackets to school in the morning (it's been in the mid-40's in the morning).
Start wearing hats & mittens? Usually when it's in the low 40s.
Start wearing winter boots? I guess it depends on what is meant by winter boots. If you're talking snow boots, I rarely have a need for them, if your just talking boots in general, usually in the fall (late Sept.).
 
Do you have a date or temperature you aim for? about 72-74 degrees inside throughout the year
When do you Turn the heat on? hahhahaaaaaahahahaa that's funny. It never goes on here.
Pull out the winter jackets? hahaaaaaaaahahha no
Start wearing hats & mittens? doesn't happen
Start wearing winter boots? also doesn't happen

I literally LMAO when I see people in Florida wearing hats, mittens, and fur-lined winter boots. We start seeing this once the temperature hits about 80-85. It's sick.

I was so happy to vacation someplace cooler and we had to wear winter jackets and mittens. I love mittens and scarves.
 
we turn the heat on when it starts to get cold LOL......I only wear boots if it snows....same with hats and mittens!!! LOL
 
When do you Turn the heat on? I try to push it until Nov... but hubby - who is always, I love it cold... actually went behind my back and put it last weekend... :thumbdown: However, in his defense it was been 27 at night...
Pull out the winter jackets? Hmm... define winter jacket... jackets have been on since mid Oct... but the winter liner won't go in until it's like 35 during the day
Start wearing hats & mittens? Only when it's really but cold for me... kiddo, he has already been wearing them
Start wearing winter boots? When there is snow on the grown
 
When do you Turn the heat on? I hate being cold, so early! We put it on a few weeks ago. But even though it's technically on, it isn't actively heating the house most days because the temps haven't dropped enough to trigger the heat on. It has turned on briefly a few times, mostly overnight.

Pull out the winter jackets? I think we're going to do that this week since 2 of my kids have been cold at recess. The weather just changed here; highs are now in the low 50's, but it's still in the high 30's when they leave for school and can still be in the mid-40's at recess time. DH has a hard and fast rule about not wearing his until Dec. 1, which results in me laughing at him when he's freezing in late Nov and stubbornly refusing to switch.

Start wearing hats & mittens? Depends on the weather. Mostly I don't wear them unless we're going to be outside for an extended time in the winter, but the kids need them for recess.

Start wearing winter boots? I call them "snow boots," and that's the only time we wear them. Unless there's snow on the ground that's too deep for shoes, no boots for us!
 
When do you Turn the heat on? I try to hold out until mid October, which was easy this fall because we had an awesome Indian summer. I actually sleep with my bedroom window cracked and a fan on low until it gets below 20 at night but I do turn the heat on in the morning if it's below 60 in the house (the thermostat stays at 58 when we sleep all winter.) I strive to keep it around 64 in the house during the day.
Pull out the winter jackets? These actually get pulled out of the bins at the beginning of September and cleaned and hung at the ready because we go to a lot of football games at night and it gets windy and cold even if the days are still nice and warm.
Start wearing hats & mittens? See above.
Start wearing winter boots? Only when I have to shovel snow or if I actually have to go outside when it's actively snowing :D Otherwise I stay inside and only go out once all the parking lots and walk ways are shoveled so I can wear my regular shoes.

I live in FL, so my answers are pretty much... never. LOL. But I will say that I have a light winter coat I will wear if we are out at night and its in the 50's or 60's. I constantly have hoodies and cardigans with me, even in the hottest days of summer because its pretty cold in stores and restaurants (air conditioning). We keep our house between 74-78 most of the time.
 
Do you have a date or temperature you aim for? Nope.
When do you turn the heat on? the heat kicks on when the temperature inside is less < 60, otherwise we just use blankets/hoodies.
Pull out the winter jackets? It just depends on the year and where we are stationed. This year we are in the southern mid-west. Its been pretty cold(around freezing a few times, mostly in the low 50's for the lows. I've been making the kids wear layers but not heavy coats. They've been driven to school lately though so that cuts out their outdoor time when its cold. I'm putting off winter coats till its below freezing.
Start wearing hats & mittens? Whenever we are cold. I do hats/mittens with hoodies. :) My limbs freeze so easy though. Plus I love scarves!
Start wearing winter boots? We haven't yet. I usually wait till snow for winter boots. We have fashion winter boots that we wait till Nov for and I have tons of leather boots I wear year round. I love my boots!
 
When do you Turn the heat on? Well...I'm in California so we really don't have to turn on the heat until December/January. There are times that we can still wear summer clothes thru November.

Pull out the winter jackets?Decemberish

Start wearing hats & mittens? Never...really

Start wearing winter boots? Never
 
When do you Turn the heat on? - this is the time of year where we sleep with the AC on and then I turn on the heat when we get up in the mornings lol

Pull out the winter jackets? - we don't have a real need for heavy winter coats. Most of the time unless there is a cold snap we get by with lighter jackets or fleece pullovers.

Start wearing hats & mittens? - it's never really cold enough. I will put a hat on Avery if it's a super cold morning but for us that's like 30 degrees.

Start wearing winter boots? no need for winter boots
 
I grew up in AZ where I would wear my "coat" and a scarf all December just for principle's sake.

Now that I'm in New England, I've already accustomed to the cooler weathers, and it helps to have a furnace in my belly. Our house gets down to 62/63 at night, and it warns up naturally during the day to 67/68. We will probably have to keep it warmer when the baby is born in January.

I actually put on boots and gloves earlier than most. I don't have a lot of shoes because comfort is more important to me than style, so my non-sandals are either my running shoes or my boots. They are cute and comfortable though, so I don't mind most if the time. I wear gloves any time I can feel the cold biting...usually 40 and below. For one thing my hands get really dry, and for another, one time I forgot gloves and my hands were so cold by the time I got to the store (it was a short drive and the heat wasn't working), and I slammed my thumb in the car door and didn't know until I couldn't walk away. As my hands thawed the pain was worse than childbirth, so I'm afraid of cold hands.
 
When do you Turn the heat on? I have it set to automatically come on when the temp reaches 70 degrees in the house. The ac comes on at 76. So for the last couple weeks sometimes the a/c is on and sometimes the heat is on because our weather has been weird lately
Pull out the winter jackets? When the temp is going to stay under 50 during the day. Not by my choice but the school won't let them play outside without a winter coat at that temp. Personally I leave it up to the kids. I'm freezing at 55 but they don't seem to notice until 45 or so
Start wearing hats & mittens? around the same time
Start wearing winter boots? Boots are only worn when it is snowy
 
When do you Turn the heat on? - No set time, really. Usually, when the indoor temp is going below 60. I've had it on a couple of times already.

Pull out the winter jackets? - Usually, sometime in November

Start wearing hats & mittens? - Whenever I feel like it's cold enough to warrant it. Generally not 'til late November/early December.

Start wearing winter boots? - When it snows...and sometimes not even then.
 
When do you Turn the heat on? Ummm... almost never lol though DH wants to when it is in the 50's consistently.
Pull out the winter jackets? that's a hoodie for me lol
Start wearing hats & mittens? never ever
Start wearing winter boots? never ever


gotta love Central Florida lol :thumbup:
