only because I have found it heats up faster when I go out and work, I
also don't mind working in it when it is in the high 40's with a jacket
on. Any colder and I won't want to go out there until it warms up. But
YES it is balmy in S. Calif. where I live we only hit the high 30's maybe
15 nights a year and we can get all the way to 32 one or 2 nights a
year. At 45 the heater rarely comes on, it is not done to prevent
freezing, just a rather cool temp I don't mind working in when properly
dressed while it warms up.
