I think when it consistently doesn't get over 50 the house cools down pretty fast especially when lows are below 30.
It might be easier to maintain a warm house than heat up a cold one.
10 day forecast Lows in the 20's, highs low 40's.
Decided to light my second stove yesterday.

It most certainly is. My 3000SF barn takes a good bit of coal to get it warm if i let it get too cold. lots of hardware on 3 floors to soak up the heat (or cold). Then just a few pounds to keep it there. Looks like shoulder season is over,winter is here early.
