Woburn Hourly Weather - AccuWeather Forecast for MA 01801

I'm thinking about breaking my own rule about not turning down the temp overnight.
With 2 systems running high wattage all night, at these temps..?.
That's really going add on the kWhs..

Right now, each unit is using about 550w (1.1kw) and both indoor coils
are at about 100 deg F..

I'll decide before bedtime. If it's going to be colder than 12 F, I'll turn it down to 19C.
If not, I'll just leave it at 20C as usual.

Anyways, you might find this local temperature map interesting.
New England Temperature Map
I've watched it for hours and you can see the cold creeping in, town by town.
This map seems to be very accurate for making short term forecast.
You can see the cold before it gets to your area..

This one is good for the whole area..
