At what temperature do you keep your house in winter?

Is this just to prevent the pipes from bursting? 65 degrees is quite warm!

66 during the day, 68 mornings and evenings, and 62 at night.

I'm also wondering if I'm the one who is crazy in my household for thinking that 64-66 is too darn cold to keep a house!!

We keep both levels @ 66. We're from Jersey so we're used to the cold. This house I have to say is very well insulated. In Jersey I had to keep it between 70-72. Sometimes 74. But it was an old drafty house.
