A cool front came through the area yesterday, bringing rain and temperatures in the 60s and 70s.
When I checked the meter this morning, I expected to find a considerable drop in my consumption. And I was right.
This morning's meter reading appears to be another 'tweener — between 8976 and 8977. Since yesterday's meter reading was 8967, that means my consumption was about 9½ kWh.
That will be temporary, I am sure, and, considering that we are past mid–May, it is likely to be my last single–digit reading for awhile. Forecasters say we will be back in the mid–80s today, and higher temperatures are in the forecast for the next week.
So it's worth celebrating.
On the day–to–day basis, my electricity consumption went down nearly 55%; compared to this time last year, the drop was even more dramatic — more than 66%.
