The temperature got into the 40s for awhile yesterday, but mostly it was in the 30s.

The low last night was expected to be 30°. It was 34° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 20353 and 20354. Yesterday's reading was between 20300 and 20301. My consumption was 53 kWh.

The temperature was in the 50s yesterday. That is something the forecasters say we won't see again for awhile.

A cold front is expected to come through the area tonight and bring sub–freezing temperatures. Last night's low was expected to be 34°. It was 41° when I woke up. Tonight's low is expected to be 27°.

This morning's meter reading is between 20300 and 20301. Yesterday's reading was between 20269 and 20270. Consumption was 31 kWh. That is nearly 35% lower than the previous 24 hours.

The temperature got into the upper 40s yesterday, and the 50s are projected for today, but then a cold front is supposed to come through, bringing a chance of freezing rain on New Year's Eve.

Last night's low was supposed to be around 31°. As it turned out, that was the temperature when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 20269 and 20270. Yesterday's reading was 20222. Consumption was 47½ kWh in the last 24 hours. That is about 30% less than the day before.

It is possible, I suppose, that the temperature rose to the 50s yesterday, but I doubt it. I spent most of the day indoors. It was nippy whenever I went out, and it was made colder by a brisk wind. I had no desire to spend much time outside.

The low was supposed to be in the 30s, and I'm sure it was. After all, it was already in the 30s when I went to bed.

This morning's meter reading is 20222. Yesterday's reading was 20154. Consumption was 68 kWh. That is nearly seven times my consumption in the previous 24 hours.

Therefore, I can conclude that:

1) We didn't reach 50° yesterday, and

2) No one is living below me. Otherwise, I would benefit from their heat. Clearly, I am not.

Yesterday was the last day (according to forecasters) that we will see temperatures in the 60s for awhile.

It was supposed to drop into the 30s last night, and it may have. It was 41° when I woke up.

The forecast for the next several nights calls for lows in the 30s.

This morning's meter reading is 20154. Yesterday's reading was 20144. Consumption was 10 kWh, about one–third lower than the previous 24 hours.

Christmas Day started a bit chilly, but it warmed into the 60s by the afternoon, and the skies were mostly clear — a few clouds but nothing that seemed likely to cause problems.

The overnight low was supposed to be in the upper 40s. It was 51° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 20144. Yesterday's reading was between 20128 and 20129. Consumption was 15½ kWh. That is more than two–thirds less than the previous 24 hours.

It was much cooler yesterday than it was the day before — low 50s at best for awhile and overcast all day. In fact, it rained yesterday morning.

Last night's low was expected to be in the 30s. I don't know if it got that cold. It was 42° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 20079. Monday's meter reading was 20033 so I consumed 46 kWh over the last two days. That's an average of 23 kWh a day.

December 23, 2014

The sun finally came out yesterday, and the temperature rose to the 60s, then it dipped back into the 50s after nightfall.

The forecast suggested that the temperature would be in the mid–40s last night, but it was in the low 50s when I woke up.

It is also raining, and traffic reports indicate that things are sluggish along my route to work so I don't think I will be able to check my meter this morning. I'll have to read tomorrow and estimate what my consumption has been over two days.

Yesterday's reading was 20033.

December 22, 2014

I heard yesterday that we've had overcast conditions for five straight days now. They've kept temperatures in the 40s and 50s. I think we probably got into the 50s yesterday, and it was supposed to stay in the 50s overnight. It was probably around 50° when I woke up.

This morning's reading is 20033. Yesterday's reading was between 20011 and 20012. Consumption in the last 24 hours was 21½ kWh. That is a drop of about 56%.

The low last night was expected to be in the 40s. It was 43° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 19962 and 19963. Yesterday's reading was 19937 so consumption was 25½ kWh. That is about 20% lower than the previous 24 hours.

December 19, 2014

I suppose it was a little warmer yesterday than it was the day before — but it was probably cooler last night than it was the night before.

I'm guessing the temperature warmed into the low 50s for awhile yesterday, but it fell back into the 40s, where it was supposed to stay last night. The skies have remained overcast, which tends to keep temperatures fairly stable. There is talk of rain today.

Last night's low was predicted to be 43°. It was 46° when I woke up.

The weather continues to affect the quality of the picture, but today's meter reading appears to be 19937. Yesterday's meter reading was 19905 so consumption was probably 32 kWh. That is about 3% higher than the previous 24 hours.

The temperature stayed in the 40s all day, and there was rain. We needed it, but it always messes up traffic.

The temperature may have reached 50° yesterday. In fact, I'm sure it did — for awhile. But mostly I think it was in the 40s.

Then last night it was supposed to dip into the 30s. It was 44° when I woke up.

It is overcast this morning so the meter is hard to read, but it appears to be 19874. Yesterday's reading was between 19839 and 19840. That would make consumption 34½ kWh in the last 24 hours. That is more than double my consumption in the previous 24 hours.
