I come from northern Minnesota and now live in northern Illinois (which feels like the south, temperature wise!). In both places, I keep the house at 60 F during the night for sleeping and during the day when no one is home. In the evening and on weekends, the thermostat is set to 68. If I feel chilly, I put on a sweater. : )

I was at a friend's house which was set to 54 degrees F (12 C) which is
basically ambient inside temperature for the winter here in California.

He told me that he likes to keep it a bit cool, when I started wondering
what others keep their houses at.

Just by way of a quick survey, what temperature do you normally keep your
living areas at during the active times of the day when people are up and
about?
