December 14, 2012



My electric meter continues to baffle me.

I haven't adjusted my meter since a few days ago when, after I discovered that my thermostat setting on a very cold night led to 50 kWh of consumption in a 24–hour period. Since then, my consumption has dropped to 25 kWh, then to between 16 and 17 kWh.

That last was my consumption level yesterday, when my meter reading was between 7103 and 7104. Today's reading is 7112, which indicates my consumption dropped into single digits again.

I haven't been adjusting my meter so the only real variable is the air temperature. And, admittedly, the temperatures have been warmer each day — but warm is a relative term in this case. The high yesterday was around 61° and more of the same — albeit with a 70% chance of rain this afternoon — is expected today.
