Even if you aren't friendly with him, if you have a 90+ neighbor, I'm going to say it's your civic duty to check on him if it's that freezing cold. It might be your moral duty to check in on him daily, but that's probably between your moral code and you.

I'm trying to really put myself in their shoes and I can see why you'd wait. I think what I'd really do is try to set up a rotation of checking with my other neighbors so it wasn't super awkward.

Ummmm because 68 here is a beautiful fall or spring day!

Right, but I mean in my house in the winter, we keep it at 68. It might be 30 outside. And you are in the cold, cold winter and your heating to 73. It's just blows my mind, but again, your home is probably better insulated.
