About 10 pm last nigjt, I heard a strange noise. Well not so strange, I thought it was a big ol' jetliner doing a flypast. But it kept going. So I went over to the heat vent, and sure enough, the furnace had kicked on. First time this season.
Has your furnace gone on yet?

No, not really. It used to have nice weather up to Hallowe'en.

It's been almost cold enough the past few nights for the furnace to kick on but not yet.

We don't have a furnace. We have a boiler which is on all the time and keeps the central heating warm and boils water for us when we need it.

Good for you! I wish I had that, or at least a gas stove with a pilot light...

@BarBaraPrz Yes, it is very convenient. I'm sorry you haven't got one.

I turned it on for a day or two, but no, it is not going to kick on until it gets a lot colder here.

I hope I don't have to turn mine back up for a while yet, but the forecast doesn't look promising.

@BarBaraPrz I’d gladly trade as the sweat drips down my face at 9am while walking my dog.

Yes a few days ago. I have it set on 70 to take the chill off the air. Have a good day.

I'll be out for a good portion of the day, so I won't be turning it up just yet.

we don't have a furnace, but remember when we use to ours would
make a little noise & it would feel SOOOO good when it was nippy.
