Go to this website, enter your zip code, or the one nearest you that you feel best represents where you live, and then scroll down through temperature and HDD history.

When computing your local HDD's, be sure to subtract the HDD's from months for which you are not heating the home, as they are not relevant.
For example: Zip code 44281
Total HDD's = 6,525
But by subtracting June through September HDD's, where no home heating is being done, the "relevant" HDD's become 6,329.
