Is it a good idea to start painting today!?

[OM2]

Brrrr it's freezing! It's snowing outside quite heavily!
We'll have to spend the whole day indoors because of the weather!

Question: is it a good idea to paint a room today!!?

Nothing else to do!

The only concern I had was that: it's freeezing!
And that the paint will take 4 times as long to dry??

I thought I'd try asking here first before I started

Thanks

painting inside will be fine, will just take longer to dry.

got a heater?

Yes, you need a bit of heat in a room for the paint to dry.

bring the paint to room temp before trying to stir or use it. Paint dries better by ventilation than by heat. I don't suppose you'll want the windows open though. If not ventilated, you are more likely to get a headache from the fumes (if you are susceptible)

Since ventilations are of no use in cold weather, heater will be a better option or leave the paint to dry itself. It will take a good amount of time but aridness by itself will worth. Apply paint in daytime so that at least daylight could help you a little bit.
