My mom had, in the previous house in Raleigh, North Carolina, a double 
thermometer with one having a thin tube routed through the window to the bulb 
outside. One night it was -18 °C outside and it was all the heating system 
(which used a heat exchanger and well water) could to to keep it at +18 °C 
inside. Here in Charlotte it's been -9 °C a few times in the past few weeks, 
but that's about as low as it gets.
