Outdoor temps have fallen to 53.2F now, the winds are still calm but the indoor thermostat is registering about 74F so before heading off to bed it was time to switch over to heat vs. freezing in my sleep or having a DW that tries to suck the life force out of you asleep at night. Not to mention the lack of humidity at 75% outside. For sure I could have made it longer but DW doesn't need to suffer through a sub 50F(70F inside) night. By putting on more clothes than underoos and a t-shirt 74F is tolerable to me. I just made sure it kicked in then turned it back off as sometimes our HVAC messes up when switching it from one setting to another. Now I am just off to look at this lunar eclipse thing I just need to gear up in my old Army PT shorts and flip flops. In my defense I did just buy her an Eeyore Fleece Walmart Onesie if she gets too cold for a Halloween costume that was too hot to wear in our neck of the woods, so she has emergency gear if needed. Admittedly, I bet if she broke down on the road and had to put something like that on to stay warm it would go viral.
Edit- In typing this post the heat just engaged after hitting my enter key. The eclipse idea was a bust I didn't see anything noticeable.

wind hollering @ 12mph, clear. I guess I loss the challenge...I started a fire just before you posted "who'll be the first to turn the heat on!" 
hate losing a challenge! No I don't watch your weather channel....I have my own weather station in my backyard. 
actually, the temperature dropped to 39°F just before sunrise, after I posted it was 42°F.
