With enough Whale blubber lamps burning it can get well above freezing. I remember this from a film I saw in school when I was 11. At one point the temp went over 50F and the mother complained that it was too warm. She started uncovering the Eskimo baby. I remember the teacher explaining that because snow is well insulating and the outside temps were so cold, that there was no risk of melting. Of course, come spring, the whole house melts.
