When it warms up, you should clean out your car! Good Housekeeping has some tips.

First, obvious trash. old receipts, fast food wrappers, empty water bottles.

Extra charging cords. Just keep the ones you need!

Summer gear. Isn't it time to take that out of your car? 

Gather your loose change. Do you really need more than your Aldi quarter?

Donations. It's been in your car for weeks. Do it!

Old paperwork.

Gather your reusable grocery bags. If you're like me, they tend to not get put back into their spot.

Empty anything..air fresheners and hand sanitizers.

Old pens. How did they all get there?

It's the city that doesn't sleep. NYC. Despite weather advisories, many New Yorkers are taking advantage of the snowy landscape — sledding in Central Park and navigating the slick streets — showing how people can find joy even in bitter conditions.

In Philadelphia, they were sledding down the art museum stairs. (you know..the Rocky stairs)

Reddit asked, What is everyone's thermostat set at right now.

The OP said 68,but big thick socks and long pants and sleeves.(this is my house, 65 while sleeping , but programable so it's up to 68 before getting out of bed.)

Responses-

67. I wear a long sleeve shirt and sweats. My teenager wear shorts and no shirt.

-My kids thought it'd be hilarious to have the thermostat be 6-7. To be fair their giggles were worth it.

70 (they use propane)

Wife likes it 72 (sneaks to 73 sometimes..but she pays that bill)

A lot do keep it cooler for savings reasons.

Someone said 58 Yikes!

Wow, so am I crazy for cranking it to 78-81?? (my god, this is my mother's)

68 - 72 seems to be the range.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day Observed on the last Monday of January, today is for the "satisfying pop" that protects our packages and relieves our stress. Fun fact: Bubble wrap was originally invented in 1957 as a textured wallpaper—which failed miserably. It wasn't until they marketed it as packing material that it became a global sensation.
