What this week’s weather means for heating, cooling, pipes and fresh air.
Tonight’s low: 17°−8°
Overnight low of 17°F for 4+ hours — cold enough that pipes in unheated spaces can freeze. Let faucets on exterior walls drip overnight.
About 65% 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.

Dry air outside (dew point 19°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.
No stretch in the next few days is comfortable enough outside, by temperature, dew point and air quality.
Today’s expected high is 2°1° colder than typical.
On average 4°2° warmer than normal (daily mean temperature).
