I left my heating set at 15 degrees for the same reason @Rosa_Damascena while I was away at my daughters for Christmas and New year. and we still came back to a cold flat, but it warmed up quite quickly once the heating was on. I think the thermostat here registers a bit on the high side here and the one at my old house registered a bit low as I used to keep at about 16/17 degrees during the day and about 13/14 overnight at my old house but im still using about the same amount of energy.

I have my halogen heater on and I’m about to put on another jumper. There was sleet/snow here earlier, but it didn’t settle,

I didn't notice it 4 miles east, I went out to stretch my legs whilst it was bright. But heard it was snowing in London and Basildon.

I just opened the door to the Amazon driver and he said it was snowing back in Basildon.

A wet riviera here. I've pegged the washing out 3 times today, despite only 10% to 30% chance of rain.
