I was expecting the worst this morning.
It's been quite cold around here the last few days, and yesterday I woke up to find a layer of snow on the ground. That's all gone now. It warmed up enough to melt it all away, but I doubt the temperature reached 40° yesterday afternoon, and it plunged into the 20s last night so, as I say, I feared the worst when I went to photograph the meter a little while ago.
And I was right.
This morning's reading is 7988. Yesterday, the reading was 7927 so my consumption was 61 kWh. That's the highest electricity consumption I have witnessed in a 24–hour period since I started monitoring my meter last April.
With that level of consumption, I would expect my apartment to be toasty warm. Hardly.
Once again, I slept in a sweatshirt — and I was still cold. I've never been a fan of summer, but I sure would like some warmer temperatures right now. And the forecasters tell me the temperatures will be progressively warmer through the weekend.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed — and, as cold as they are, that takes some doing.
