It’s so cold in my house that the heat came on and I had it set at 15C. Normally downstairs (where the thermostat is) is 2 degrees or so warmer than upstairs.

Ironically (or not) this dynamic shifts once the central heating is on. Then downstairs is about 2-3 degrees cooler than upstairs. Go figure. Science I guess.

I think it’s the difference between radiators upstairs and floor heating under really thick ceramic tiles downstairs.

it's been chilly here, I sneak to the thermostat and bump it a few degrees on these days, brrrrr! When kitty snuggles my tush at night, it's clear it's COLD!

15°, is that even healthy?

I thought I was a regular Spartan, keeping mine at 62° (around 17°C)

Tillie : you get used to it. Extra layers and sitting under blankets are key. I’ve got like 4-5 throws on my couch and I’m always under at least one of them and sometimes two. It’s my fingers that get cold mostly.

FREEarmStar🌟🎉 :

but why?

warm air rises so you heat up the air downstairs and it rises up.

Tillie : I’m cheap and it saves me money! LOL

sjonsvenson : oh really? Is that how it works? I had no idea (even though I studied science and thermodynamics in school).

Unfortunately it doesn’t rise up enough here because the stairs are by the ingang.
