In Northern Wisconsin we are in the throes of winter and cold weather.  So if you also are trying to save energy but still wanting to stay warm, try some of these suggestions:

1. dress warmer, by wearing more layers, or wearing heavier clothing
2. by adding a blanket to your bed
3. by using an afghan, when watching TV or reading
4. using blinds on windows and closing them at night, opening them in the morning to let the sunlight in (we have double cellular blinds, and it really makes a difference closing them at night)
5. closing your vertical blinds on patio doors
6. adding storm doors to help keep out drafts 

These are things we do, to help us stay warmer, and still being able to keep our thermostats at 66 degrees. If need be while working in one room I may turn up just that thermostat while working in that room.
