Thermostat is all the way up but apartment is still freezing. Help?

It's all fixed now thank you everyone! The temperatures for the next week are a lot higher thankfully so we'll be a lot warmer!

It feels like 7 degrees here and the past few days it's gone down to feeling like -16. I've had the thermostat as high as it'll go but it's freezing in here. The night it was -16 we were all warmer than we are now and it's 23 degrees warmer than it was. I can't do anything to the insulation but could something be wrong with the heaters?

It was minus 8F here very early this morning. Temperatures are supposed to shoot up to 47F tomorrow.

Try boiling water on your stove. Cooking, baking and broiling all heat the place. Since you can't fix the insulation, you are going to have to insulate yourself. Dress in several layers...at least four. Make sure your feet are in two loose pairs of wool socks and then put on your winter boots over them.

Your head and your core are the two most important places to keep warm. Warming your head by wearing a warm knitted cap and a hoodie stops internal heat loss.

It might be that your apartment building has run out of fuel. Call the landlord.
