We are still finding 21C/69.8F is just about perfect for us.
I wear long sleeve medium weight shirts over tee-shirts.
If I have to visit the basement, the hoodie goes on..

It's been so cold lately, we are burning up the kwh like crazy this year..
We are going to burn over 800 kwh during this cycle. (136USD).
Almost 27 kwh per day on average. Not been this cold in a while.
These 20 days of Dec 2013 ave= 28.6 °F.
It was warmer the last two years.. We got off easy.

Averages of 35.2 °F in 2012 and 36.8 °F in 2011

This last month had some pretty deep drops in temp..
That's when the Sanyos suck up a lot of wattage..

At least they are deep for the Boston area (near the sea)..
