you know it's cold in the apartment when ...

... the analog thermostat indicates the current temperature is "OFF".

... it's impossible to tell the difference between inside and outside of the fridge.

... steam is rapidly rising from the fish tank.

... sleeping requires thermals, pjs, sweats, plus 2 long-sleeve t-shirts, sweater, under 3 blankets.

... feet go numb after just 10 minutes without socks and slippers.

... heating just one room still incurs a large energy bill.

... jacket and gloves are required to go out into the kitchen.

... considering to visit the the community laundry room just to warm up.

... huffing and puffing to check if breath is visible yet.

... metallic doorknobs induce a moment's pause before engagement.
