Are those of you in the upper midwest who are usually nude at home managing to keep the heat high enough to do so or giving in and wearing clothes in you house?

    I dress to be comfortable. If its cold and I don't want to run up the energy bill, I put on clothing. If its hot, the clothing comes off. If i'm going to possibly offend someone, (making me uncomfortable), I wear clothes.

    I don't go out of my way to be naked. However, I get so much time without clothing, It doesn't bug me too much to put something on. Working from home is a blessing for nudists!

    [quote]40 in the shade, 60 in the sun, 80 in the house. Some may think that's just "wrong"! I guess we just like being happy, naked and warm. Even Stevie Ray likes it that way! The cat always gets a vote![/quote] It's 54 outside and we keep it at 68 inside. A little cold to be completely naked so donald ducking works or i just wear my terry cloth robe but that is sometimes too hot for me. Luckily the home office is the warmest room in the house so off with the robe when at the computer.

    Minus 25F this morning but 68 in the house. It depends on activity level if that is comfortable. Just watching TV might require a blanket. Working at the house remodel, cleaning, or cooking and it can be too warm. Our in floor hot water heat is very slow to raise or lower the temp so the stat stays at 68 around the clock. If I'm feeling cold even with clothing or just coming in from working outside, a jump in the hot tub warms me enough that I can stay nude at room temperature for a long time.

    You would think 20 is very cold. but here we do it in deg C. So 20 C is about 68 F. And that's what I keep my house at so I can be naked. Outside it was -2 C yesterday morning (that's 2 below freezing, or 3 to 4 below for you in the USA)

I'd rather weigh 100kg than 220 lbs.

If something comes my way in metric I always have to translate it to something that works for me. Now if you grow up with metric it will be the other way around. I stayed dressed for a few days, while I prefer to sleep naked it was a bit cool to do so, but it's warmed up again.

    The temperature in Fahrenheit sounds warmer than it does in Celsius though, so I would prefer to stick to that. Like Reuben, I too have to translate distance & weight measurements to something more understandable for me. Have you considered moving to a part of the world that uses metric system??

    I grew up with Fahrenheit, and still use it now most of the time.

    Use the metric system enough and you won't have to translate and when it is -40F it is also -40C. Since most of industry in the U.S. has been using the metric system for the last 40 years and more it makes sense to change everything so there is only one system to know. I can just as easily frame a wall with a 5x10 or 50 x100 as I can a 2x4 and I would be less likely to make measuring errors. As for moving, the answer is no, but Canada would be my first choice.

    It was -35 at one point this week out there but we have one of those good ole' 100 year old homes built to take on anything, so it's nice and toasty in here and the heat isn't even cranked either :)

    We just got done with our cold blast...resulting in -37F with a wind chill of -60F or more!

    I can tolerate going outside for a few minutes when the temps are in the 20s (but I also have some additional "insulation" on my body) and for up to 30 minutes or more when the temps are in the 40s. All of this is typically when their isn't much wind to bring the temps much lower. No matter what, though, I will sleep in the nude and spend my morning time in the nude as I am now while typing this.
