Does room temperature affect your sound?

I am interested in hearing if you guys and gals have experienced a sound difference in your system under different room temps. We are now in a major cold spell in Texas and I don't seem to hear my system as clearly as I usually do. It is a little more subdued. Maybe it's my cold body and ears that make a difference. Anyhow, chime in if you have experienced sound at different temps. More specifically, is there an optimum temp for a vinyl TT system? Thanks.

I know Texas is different in a lot of ways, but do you really not have a thermostat?

I lived in Summit County, Colorado for 10 years, so familiar with cold too, but dry cold up there, humid cold down here. Anyway I think the change in sound may be more due that I turned off all my equipment for the last 3 days. I usually leave my preamps always on. Will find out tomorrow since I left them on again. And MC, my thermostat was set at 62 degrees since I was gone for a few days. Getting used to your strange sense of humor.
