December 21, 2012



As expected, the temperature dipped below freezing last night.

My thermostat was set about as low as it could go, but it still kicked on periodically during the night.

And my electricity consumption went up.

Yesterday's meter reading was 7157. This morning's reading is 7186. Thus, my consumption in the last 24 hours was just under 30 kWh.

That's better than the 50 kWh day I had last week, but it's worse than what I have been getting lately. It will probably stay elevated today — this afternoon's high is supposed to be in the 60s, but, after the sun goes down, the temperature is expected to drop into the 30s.

The weekend looks pretty mild — tomorrow night's low is supposed to be in the 50s — but Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the day after Christmas are looking like they will be cold.
