Today is Thanksgiving, but I'm not feeling terribly thankful for my electricity meter.
By most people's standards, I suppose my reading today would be a good thing. But I've grown accustomed to expecting single–digit readings lately. The weather yesterday wasn't significantly different than it has been on most days for the last three or four weeks — but the temperature did reach 80°, and it might well have gone higher, however briefly.
And that could explain why my reading was in double digits this morning.
True, my usage was just shy of double digits — this morning's reading is 6858, and yesterday's was between 6848 and 6849 — but, compared to my recent usage, that represents an increase of between 25% and 35%.
