It's been rather cold here lately. It's been hovering in the mid-40's to 50's Fahrenheit during the day. As long as you have a jacket on and are in the sun, it's actually quite lovely outside, but the nights get very cold. Overnight tonight will reach freezing. We've been having morning fog for the past few days, and I'm expecting frost when the sun comes up.
I've turned into a bit of a wimp when it comes to cold, mostly because the houses here aren't built for it. I've lived in New York, I lived in Minnesota, but there you dealt with the cold by dressing for it and keeping the heat going inside double-glazed, insulated buildings. Here the houses and buildings can be draughty, especially the older ones. That is great in summer when you need a breeze, but challenging in winter.
The use of the fireplace has helped quite a bit. We only use it once or twice a week, but it's a nice luxury which adds warmth and coziness to dark winter evenings. I must say, it sure beats the little electric heater at my feet!
