August 10, 2013



The triple–digit streak must have sucked all the moisture out of the ground — and quite a bit from area lakes and streams, too — because the heat index finally registered lower than the actual temperature yesterday.

The fickle forecasters have been teasing us with the possibility that the temperatures might drop into the 90s (and bring with them nighttime lows in the 70s) — but they keep pushing the line back. At first, they said the 90s would arrive today — but triple digits are now expected today and tomorrow. Now, they say the temperatures might be in the 90s by Monday. We'll see.

Apparently, though, the nighttime low last night dipped below 80° for the first time in more than a week.

This morning's meter reading is between 10816 and 10817. Yesterday's reading was between 10786 and 10787. Consumption was 30 kWh in the last 24 hours. It actually dropped about 3% compared to the 24 hours before that.

And it's a drop of more than 14% compared to this date last year.
