California sucks politically, but I am glad to see 79 today.
I don’t know what we would do with 20 degrees or less in the regular areas because the homes and heating were IMO mostly not made to buy you that much heating.
The heater would be going 24-7 if we hit even 30 outside and we had a setting of 70 inside. That is probably because we don’t have the big water heaters throughout or the brick homes like I had in NY.
Most CA homes have walls with zero insulation; just stucco, beams empty air then lath and plaster.
Come to think of it, many CA voters are the same way, nothing between the two walls either... LOL Describes their heads in many cases out here.
