May 24, 2013



For awhile yesterday, I wondered if it was possible that I might have three consecutive single–digit days in late May.

The sky was overcast through the morning, and — although it was humid — the temperature stayed in the 70s — but the temperature was in the low 80s by noon and well on its way to the predicted high of 90°. (I don't know if the air temperature reached 90°, but I know the heat index did.)

And, as the afternoon went on, I gradually lost hope that I would have a third straight single–digit day. And I was right.

This morning's meter reading is between 8999 and 9000. Yesterday's reading was 8984 so consumption was about 15½ kWh.

On the negative side, that is more than twice my usage in the previous 24 hours.

On the plus, side, though, it is half of my consumption from this date a year ago. I prefer to look at it that way!
