Not all NYC apts have thermostats in them. In fact most do not. You get heat when the landlord turns it on. :bleh: So our temps have been dropping down to the 20-30F range at night this week and staying in the low 40sF during the day. Some parts of NY might get snow showers for this Easter weekend. Brrrr! How are you supposed to have a decent Easter egg hunt in all this cold weather? :grumble:
We've got that weather here. It's snowing outside right now. :pout:

I used to have an apartment like that as well. I went out and bough a small electric space heater used to heat a 'garage' for mechanics while they're working during the winter. Low cost, energy efficient, and you'll probably be sweating in like ten minutes. :P
They tend to be fire hazard tho. :sweat: Its still better than what a few idiots are using: bbq. Slowly killing themselves. It happens every year. :shakehead:

OK I'll go off topic for a moment....There are laws in NYC that the apt. landlords have to follow regarding providing heat to their tenants. Heat should start on a specific date in the Fall and end in Spring (sorry I forgot the actual dates). It has to start at a certain time in the evening and goes off in the mornings, etc... So yeah space heaters are great. Although there are many fires that begin in NYC apartments due to those space heaters and also ovens being left on. So saikira Good Luck staying warm. :thumbsup: Think thermal undergarments. :sweat:
Back on Topic: Weather here will be fair and 50F today and 35F tonight. At least it stopped raining and snowing. :victory:
