How are you handling the winter weather and staying warm?

Is it true that you have to ration fuel for heat? If so, how are you staying warm during your extremely cold winters? I hope you are managing to stay comfortable.

To keep warm during the winter, wear a warm sweater, light some candles, drink tea, and use a blanket. Heating doesn't need to be limited, but energy should be conserved. Fortunately, our winters haven't been too cold lately; I'm near the Alps and it's currently 6°C.

Nobody in Germany is freezing, we don't have to ration anything and everyone has a warm, heated house. Don't believe the propaganda that we're starving and freezing to death; that's not true. We're enjoying the winter like always.

There is no fuel rationing and prices are lower than in summer, even by 10-20 cents. Last week was cold, but it looks like temperatures will remain around 5 degrees until the end of the year.

The media is creating fear unnecessarily.

This winter, many of us are being extra careful with our heating and electricity use because of the prices. We are making sure to have warm clothes, blankets, and lots of candles for coziness. We are using just enough heating to prevent mold. As an added bonus, we can now express our frustration with Putin by loudly swearing when we hang up the washing or when our bedrooms are cold in the morning. However, it's important to remember that it's not like everyone is freezing in their homes. The people in Ukraine are the ones who are really suffering.

Your statement is not correct. The war has not really affected us. Fuel prices rose temporarily, but now it's back to normal.

We don't need to ration energy this winter, but we should try to save it if we can. Some public buildings and employers have lowered their heating temperature, and many households have done the same. Temperatures in Schleswig-Holstein don't usually get below 0°C, so no mandatory measures have been taken.

The gas storage facilities in Germany are currently over 95% full. This means that, even if no more gas comes in, Germany can be supplied with gas for two to three months. To become less dependent on Russian gas, many efforts have been made in recent months, particularly with gas coming from Norway. The German government is recommending saving on gas consumption as a safety measure, and although gas prices have become more expensive, a gas price brake will be enforced from 1 January 2023.

Heating costs more, but otherwise everything is as usual.

The prices for gas and power are really expensive, so I'm spending about 10% of my salary on them. It could get more expensive next year, but we'll have to wait and see. There's no rationing, but many people keep their home heat at a lower temperature than usual, like 17. Only at the office do I heat it up to 18-19, since it's too cold to sit there for 9 hours.

My first winter in Berlin has been good; the heat in my room is 25 degrees, but it's not so warm in the kitchen or other places. I bought some new winter clothes, but I'm still looking for the best shoes to wear in winter as I like to walk around. I have a pair of Nike running shoes, but I don't think they're suitable for this weather as they often get wet.

My apartment is colder than other winters, but so far we've only had one cold week. Keeping warm is easy though - hot drinks, hot water bottles and blankets are all cozy. Outside temperatures have been around 10+ degrees Celsius, apart from that one week, which wasn't too bad as it was sunny and dry.

Wear long thermal underwear, a thick jumper, house slippers with felt insoles, a cap indoors, a dressing gown, and use a hot water bottle and drink tea and hot chocolate regularly.

It can be expensive to heat your home, but you don't need to be conservative with the radiator. Just make sure it doesn't stay at 5 all day. If you're looking to regulate it better, consider getting a eq-3 Homematic IP Heizkoerperthermostat (available here: https://www.smarthome.de/geraete/eq-3-homematic-ip-heizkoerperthermostat-weiss?vo=ESH31&wt_mc=sgs_smsmsmzb_1010_fn-sh_360661449_23277163929_83176664889_&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-oqdBhDfARIsAO0TrGF8U52FeI77Vrf1nmikRPT8iPTWcjtGbXt-ngTf6G1z1iSvQmB6q9oaAhJFEALw_wcB).

We don't need to use much heat this winter; it's not as cold as other winters. Just grab a hot drink and a warm blanket, and wear warm clothes - the temperature is around 8° Celsius.
