January 18, 2013



I understand the temperatures were in the low 60s yesterday.

I spent all afternoon and most of the evening on campus indoors so I really don't know that first hand. But my meter indicates that it is true.

It got a little cool last night, and I know for sure the heat came on around 4 a.m. because I woke up around that time and I heard the heater kick on. It may have come on a couple of times before that or a few times after that because I went back to sleep after looking at the clock and hearing the heat come one.

Apparently, though, it was a rather isolated event because this morning's meter reading appears to be between 8041 and 8042. Yesterday's reading was 8029 so my electricity consumption was roughly 12½ kWh, which was a drop of a little more than 30% in 24 hours.

I hope for more of the same in the week ahead. The forecasts are calling for highs in the 60s this weekend — perhaps even the upper 60s — and at least in the 50s through next week.
