What this week’s weather means for heating, cooling, pipes and fresh air.
Tonight’s low: 22°−6°
Overnight low near 22°F — not yet at drip-the-faucets cold, but worth watching if it's forecast to drop further.
About 68% less heating than a typical week.
Heating degree days, base 65°F
47, 17 and 5°F are the test points heat pumps are rated at. About 8 hours are near freezing and damp, when outdoor units defrost more often.
Dry air outside (dew point 24°F). Indoor air will run dry too — a humidifier keeping indoor relative humidity in the 30–50% range is more comfortable and cuts static shocks, without going so high it fogs cold windows.
Today, 2:00 PM–5:00 PM
Good stretch to open the windows.
Today’s expected high is about typical for the date.
