They say the cold snap we're experiencing is the worst to strike America in a couple of decades.
I know it is the worst I have seen in many years.
Here in Dallas, we've had lows in the teens the last couple of nights, and the highs on Sunday and Monday were colder than usual around here.
Today's temperature (and tomorrow's as well) should be in the upper 40s, then 50s are expected on Thursday — followed by 60s this weekend and into next week. So it looks like our experience with the extreme cold will be brief — much briefer than for those north of us.
But the last 24 hours took their toll on my electricity consumption. It was even higher today than it was yesterday — but only by 3% this time.
Today's meter reading is 13890. Yesterday's reading was between 13820 and 13821. My consumption was 69½ kWh.
That's more than three times as much electricity as I consumed on this date in 2013.
