Wow, holy crap, 62°?! Yeah, I guess we had that same situation the other day when it got down to a hair under 27°, but that's because I've been troubleshooting a furnace problem (part should arrive tomorrow) and we got a VERY unseasonably cold day/night. (I don't think it's gotten down to 27° at my house in several years).

Normally, I keep the low temp at 68° when we're home and let it drop to 66° or 65° during the day.

Keeping the house warm isn't that expensive.

I remember when weird cold snaps used to hit southern Florida that the power lines used to sag a bunch between the power poles. I assume the extra load caused the lines to heat up and sag.
