Bottle carbonating a lager at 66 degrees F. with W-34/70 yeast

How long should the carbonation process take for the conditions in the subject line?

The residual yeast should do its work in 5-7 days, at most. After that, chill bottles for several days so the CO2 can disperse...

I've bottle conditioned and keg-krausened countless beers with this yeast. Give it time and it will work...

I'm at day 3 post bottling and my carbonation test bottle with pressure gauge attached is still reading zero PSI. Getting worried.

Three days isn't long enough. Give it at least a week. I just did a Helles with 34/70 and I waited three weeks, just to be sure.

At 66 you will most likely need at least two weeks.

Should I consider moving it to an area that is at 70 degrees?

Beer will generally carbonate faster at a higher temperature. And while I don't know how much difference 4 degrees F will make, it will not hurt.
