December 5, 2013



The cold front has arrived — as predicted — and we will soon see if the forecast of wintry precipitation will come true as well.

Officially, it was 80° here yesterday. It was in the 60s and 70s for several days prior to that. I find it hard to believe the ground is cold enough for the precipitation to make travel dangerous, but that is what the forecasters are talking about for the next few days.

FYI, the temperature is 36° as I write this. For the first time in maybe a week or more, my heat kicked on during the night. I expected an increase in electricity consumption when I checked my meter. I was right.

This morning's meter reading is between 12713 and 12714. Yesterday's reading was 12701 so my consumption was 12½ kWh, slightly more than twice my consumption in the previous 24 hours and a little under twice my consumption compared to this date last year.
