February 23, 2013



I'm hoping that the current cold spell we are enduring here in north Texas will be short lived.

The temperature dropped to around freezing last night, and I know my heat came on at least a couple of times because I remember waking up during the night and hearing it. Consequently, I expected my electricity consumption to go up, perhaps into double digits.

Well, that was what I expected. But it wasn't what I found when I went out to check my meter.

This morning's reading is 8301. Yesterday's reading was between 8294 and 8295. My usage, therefore, was about 6½ kWh in the last 24–hour period.

Thursday's reading was about 8287 so my usage in that 24–hour period was about 7½ kWh.

Wednesday's reading was between 8280 and 8281 so my usage for that 24–hour period was about 6½ kWh.

Thursday was quite warm, much warmer than Friday — so I would say my usage has been consistent.
