The weather really has been getting gradually better the last few days.
It has been more seasonable than it was when temperatures at night were dipping to around 25° and daytime highs were in the 30s. It was 40° when I got up this morning, and the current forecast calls for a high in the mid–50s. If that pans out, I probably will visit my mother's grave this afternoon.
This morning's meter reading is between 13417 and 13418. Yesterday's reading was 13387 so consumption was 30½ kWh. That is nearly 32% lower than the previous 24 hours.
Because of the conditions on this day last year, I wasn't able to get a good photograph of my meter, but I was able to read it, and I determined that my consumption on this day in 2012 was 22 kWh so my usage is nearly 39% higher now than it was then.
But we were embarking on a much colder period on this day last year — whereas, as I mentioned before, temperatures this year are expected to rise. So my expectation is that I will see a continued decline in current consumption, and it shouldn't be long before I am doing better than I was in late 2012.
