It is currently 67 degrees here. I have the door between the garage and
kitchen open since the garage will heat the kitchen up more for free. I
have also opened the front door for the warmer air to come in. The
shingles reflect sunlight which is good for summer and not so good for
winter.
Just one more thing to try to keep my energy bill down since the
December one arrived yesterday (they do this by smart meter) and it was
more than twice the one for December. Most of that was for natural gas
which the water heater and furnace use. Usually that part of the bill
is around $8. I have also dropped the furnace setting to 60 degrees and
"hold temp". Maybe some wall insulation would have helped. After the
shingles were installed in 2007 I had more insulation installed in the
attic bringing it up to code.
This all wouldn't be so bad if the clear skies didn't bring the
temperature down to the 30s at night.

Hell my animals are built by natural law for this. They needs good
food, good water and good shelter that is out of the winds and they do
really fine with it. These same people never ask me with any empathy
how I the livestock man actually out in it are doing with this. City
people are just clueless in real life. Merde, this ain't bad we've
had a lot worst. Ask me in a couple days when it is supposed to be
really bad with really low temps on the thermometer and some high
winds too. We have had even worst though. *
