My house is 3200 sq ft, exterior walls are triple brick (12+inches thick), interior walls are brick as well, all new windows and the attic has about 2' of insulation blow in it (need more). My gas bill runs about $200-$250 a month in the winter. I'm a heat nazi, I keep the heater at 64 degrees.
I work at the post office. We are out in this **** all winter long. I honestly hate the heat more than I hate the cold. I can put on as many layers as I want to keep warm, I'm only allowed to take so much off. Under armor and Nike make some amazing stuff to keep you warn now. Usually out in just a pair of thermals under my pants, my uniform pants, then my wind breaker pants. 2 long sleeve thermals, uniform shirt, then a fleece or hoody depending how cold out it is (when it gets to the minus temps usuallythe hoody under the fleece). I've never had to use a winter coat yet though.
This was fun driving in yesterday in the ole bimmer.
