That said, I also feel like that's a poor choice considering you can now get a A+++ heat pump dryer that's very economical and works quite fast (slightly more time than with a convention dryer, but your clothes will last much longer) anytime (as long as it's not stuck in a icy cold basement) regardless the weather.
Another mistake some people make is using an all-in-one washer/dryer: they are the worst option ever. Terrible at everything by design.
