Columbo:
Just a few degrees below freezing, but damp ("West Coast Marine"), so it feels colder. The trick seemed to be to have 50 amp service, use an oil-filled, radiator-style heater and the electric fireplace, minimize the furnace usage, and skirting to keep the wind out of the underside.
Also, if you have the room, use a dehumidifier to reduce interior condensation. Keep the air moving inside, with a small fan or the ceiling fan, and buy a goose down comforter for the really cold nights, so that the noisy furnace need not run too often.
