Each day since the ice storm last weekend, we seem to exceed the high temperature that has been predicted.
Yesterday, for example, the forecast called for a high around 46° or 47°. I don't know what the actual high temperature was. I was in the newsroom all afternoon again. But when I was driving home around 5 p.m., the radio reported that the temperature was 49°. For all I know, it reached 50°, maybe higher.
Last night's low was supposed to be around freezing. It was a little warmer than that when I got up (35°).
So I am hopeful that the temperature today will exceed the predicted high of 51°.
This morning's meter reading is 15372. Yesterday's reading was 15331 so my consumption in the last 24 hours was 41 kWh — which is still much higher than I'd like but definitely better than it's been the last couple of days. It represents a drop of nearly 41% in my consumption compared to the previous 24 hours.
But it is five times higher than my consumption on this date a year ago (when the all–time high temperature for the date fell).
