How Long Can One Hold Off?

Topics: heat, tolerance, wagers
Last night the temperature went down to 44º. Tonight is is to drop to 41º.
We have not yet turned on the heat. I am trying to let my body adapt so I will not need to run the heating system as much as I have in the past.
Our condo is on the top floor. The condos below and beside us have already turned on their heaters. I find in the evening it gets pretty cool right about sunset, however, the heat from the other units rises. I know when they come in from their work, they crank up the heaters, because it is cold and when anyone walks up the stairs, even in the summertime, there is a mountain wind which travels right through this stairway area.
So ... How long can I hold off not flipping the switch and allowing the heater to do its thing? Not for profit wagers allowed.

I'm layering till it goes to 0 C.-
How much is this in fahrenheit?
-
32

That actually makes more sense than 32º I wonder why they raised us on fahrenheit?

The answer is probably in the other thread!-
I looked and whew ... I'm tired from running back and forth ... Well, it wasn't anywhere to be seen. You look.

I just looked it up online .. apparently to figure it out you subtract 32 then divide by 1.8

Sounds mathematically confusing already. I need to put on a sweater. The tiny little hairs on my arms are beginning to take notice.

lol yes it does .. putting on the sweater is alot less stressful

adaptation is the key!! -
I can't hold for long. My circulation is bad and my feet and hands get cold easily.
