I was running late this morning so I didn't photograph my meter. I will try to do it tomorrow.

The temperature was in the upper 50s yesterday. That&aapos;s as good as it is gonna get for awhile.

Forecasts are calling for highs in the 30s with a chance for rain, freezing rain, even snow late in the week.

Last night's low was expected to be 30°. It was 35° when I woke up.

It should be even colder in the nights ahead.

Yesterday's reading was 20702.

The temperature rose to the mid–40s yesterday, and today's high is expected to be in the 50s. After that, though, it should be much colder.

Last night's low was expected to be around freezing. It was 33° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 20702. Yesterday's reading was between 20644 and 20645. My consumption was 57½ kWh.

It was cold and windy yesterday. I don't think the temperature got out of the 30s. But it was clear and sunny so, when the blinds were open, the apartment actually managed to stay warm at times.

Last night was expected to be quite cold. Forecasters called for a low of 22°. It was cold last night but apparently not quite as cold as anticipated. It was 26° when I got up.

This morning's meter reading is between 20644 and 20645. Yesterday's reading was 20578. Consumption was 66½ kWh.

Yesterday turned out to be more pleasant than just about anyone expected, I think. The temperature flirted with the mid–50s during the afternoon.

It turned cold overnight, of course. Forecasters told us to expect lows around 28°. It was 34° when I woke up, but it has dropped about six degrees since then.

Forecasters say it won't be much warmer than mid–30s today. They only predict a high today of 36°.

This morning's meter reading is 20578. Yesterday's reading was between 20534 and 20535. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 43½ kWh. That is more than 9% lower than the previous 24 hours.

Yesterday was cold, gray and drizzly. It got into the low 40s yesterday afternoon and stayed there until well after dark. But, apparently, it didn't drop a whole lot.

According to forecasters, today will be the warmest day we'll have in the week ahead — and it is only expected to be in the low 50s.

The cloud cover has been expected to keep temperatures pretty constant. Last night's low was expected to be 40°. As it turned out, that was the temperature when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 20534 and 20535. Yesterday's reading was between 20486 and 20487 so my consumption was 48 kWh. That is nearly 23% lower than the previous 24 hours.

The temperature definitely stayed below 40° yesterday. It should be a little warmer today.

Actually temperatures are expected to stay constant for the next few days.Apparently, the cloud cover will have that effect. We had light rain yesterday; the forecast simply calls for rain today. How heavy it will be remains to be seen.

It was supposed to be a few degrees above freezing last night. It was 38° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 20486 and 20487. Yesterday's reading was between 20424 and 20425. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 62 kWh.

The year went out on a cold, gray note. I frankly doubt that the temperature rose above 40°, and, after midnight, light rain entered the area.

So 2015 is off to a gray and drizzly start.

Last night's low was expected to be around freezing, possibly turning the rain into ice, but it is a few degrees above freezing right now.

This morning's meter reading is between 20424 and 20425. Yesterday's reading was between 20353 and 20354 so consumption was 71 kWh. That is nearly 34% higher than the previous 24 hours.
