- soperj 5y agoEdmonton average January low: -15C And there are people that go around in shorts in the winter there too. What's the point of this?
- zemvpferreira 5y agoI'm not sure either. To clarify I was merely trying to illustrate that I am not a cold person and I still love love love my electric bed warmers. There's something magical about going from a cold room into a really warm bed and I'll never sleep another winter without one if I can help it.
- dsr_ 5y agoThe point is that in Lisbon, perhaps it's reasonable to shut off your heating and use hot water bottles. That's a route to suicide in Boston or Edmonton.
- soperj 5y agoIf you didn't freeze to death, your pipes would definitely freeze without any heat whatsoever.
- mcguire 5y agoFrom the article: "Because I don’t have the time nor the budget to send hot water bottles to everyone, I have written this article. It’s largely based on my personal experience – I have been using hot water bottles for many years and they are the only heat source in my apartment." But then, "Low-tech Magazine is written by Kris De Decker (Barcelona, Spain)." Barcelona's average low in February is 47F, too. It's currently 32F (0C) here in lovely northern Alabama.
