What temperature is your thermostat set to ?
Mine is set to 68 at the highest and 64 at the lowest. We have a programmable thermostat to help save on heat so we lower it when we are gone and raise it when we are home.

5. 72 day/65 night
That's about as cold as I can stand it. I'm very cold-natured. But I can deal with a space heater to watch TV by and a warming blanket to sleep under.

Our neighbors blast their heat, so it's always toasty at our place.

12. Right now, it's 62.
Usually 64 day and 58 night, but I set it a little lower today. I have a lot of housework to do, which will help keep me warm. The kids are dressed warmly, and never seem to be bothered. In fact, they sometimes complain that they are too hot in their sweaters.

16. Zero!
Turned the furnace off, because enough heat comes up through the lower three floors of our apartment building. If it gets really cold, I close the bedroom window.

17. 82 degrees
That keeps the room at around 65-70. I've checked. For some reason the thermostat is directly underneath the main heating vent...if I set the thing to a reasonable temperature in the winter, the room temp goes down to about 45-50. Now, I like sweaters and all, but come on....
