I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do.
The forecasts for the last week have been warning of a cold front that was supposed to hit the area this past weekend. OK, I was prepared for that when it arrived late Saturday night.
Based on my experiences in the last couple of months, I knew where to set my thermostat to keep my electricity consumption down. I knew it would make it cold in my apartment so I went to bed last wearing several layers. It was bulky, but I figured it would keep me warm.
I figured wrong.
I got cold last night so I nudged my thermostat up just a little. And it helped — a little, but not much.
I can't really say I have felt warm since the cold front came through. It was sunny yesterday so I opened my blinds to let as much sunshine come through as possible. But that didn't help much, either. The temperature outside never got out of the 40s, and whatever warmth had accumulated during the daylight hours rapidly disappeared after the sun went down.
Anyway, today's meter reading is between 7880 and 7881. Yesterday's reading was 7824. That means my consumption in the last 24 hours has been about 56½ kWh.
That is more than in any other 24–hour period since I started monitoring my meter last April — including every day last summer.
