Yesterday was the first of two days in which highs of maybe 33° or 34° were predicted. Lows weren't expected to be much lower, but freezing rain was predicted for last night.
Well, yesterday's high was right around freezing, maybe a degree above or a degree below. I don't know what last night's low was. The temperature was 29° when I got up.
More of the same is in the forecast for today, than talk is of a high in the 40s tomorrow, 50s on Thursday, 60s on Friday and 70s this weekend.
This morning's meter reading is between 14854 and 14855. Yesterday's reading was 14804 so my consumption was 50½ kWh. That's nearly 49% higher than the previous 24 hours, and it is more than six times my consumption a year ago today.

The forecast called for a high in the 50s yesterday, but I don't think it made it.
The sky was overcast all day, and there was a chill in the air that told me the temperature stayed in the 40s all day.
Last night's low was supposed to be close to freezing. When I got up, the temperature was 35°.
This morning's meter reading is 14804. Yesterday's reading was 14770. Thus, my consumption was 34 kWh in the last 24 hours. That is nearly double my consumption in the previous 24 hours, and it is nearly four times my consumption on this date last year.

After a cold start to the day, the temperature finally warmed into the low 50s yesterday afternoon, and it wasn't quite as cold last night as it has been.
When I got up this morning, the temperature was 40°.
This morning's meter reading is 14770. Yesterday's reading was between 14752 and 14753 so my consumption was only 17½ kWh. My consumption went down nearly 62% in the last 24 hours, but it was nearly 2½ times my consumption on this date last year.

Yesterday was another very cold day. The forecast called for a high just above freezing, which is warmer than it has been. I was indoors nearly all day so I don't know if it ever got past freezing, but I do know that most of the snow that was on the ground when I arrived on campus this morning was gone when I left around 5:15.
A bank clock that I passed on the way home said it was 31°.
It was only supposed to drop a few degrees last night, then the highs today and tomorrow are expected to be in the 50s. I expect my electricity consumption to drop dramatically this weekend. but it will probably go up again on Monday and Tuesday, which is when the next cold front is expected.
This morning's meter reading is between 14752 and 14753. Yesterday's reading was between 14706 and 14707 so my consumption in the last 24 hours has been 46 kWh. That's a drop of more than 34% compared to the previous 24 hours, but it is still more than seven times my consumption on this date last year (when it was much warmer).

The snow I mentioned yesterday morning turned into more of an event later in the morning.
We didn't get much snow, but what we got was enough to mess up traffic, causing several accidents.
The temperature never got above freezing, then dipped to around 20° last night, and my electricity consumption shows how cold it was.
This morning's meter reading is between 14706 and 14707. Yesterday's reading was between 14630 and 14631. My consumption was a staggering 76 kWh — probably the highest I have ever had in this apartment. That is nearly 26% higher than my consumption in the previous 24 hours, and it is nearly nine times my consumption on this date in 2013.
I am seriously ready for some springlike weather. I'm tired of being cold all the time.

Yesterday was much colder than it has been. If the temperature got above freezing, it did so just barely — and very briefly. Most of the day, the temperature was in the 20s.
And last night's low was supposed to be 17°. I don't know if it got quite that cold, but it was 19° when I got up this morning. And a light snow is falling as I write this.
This morning's meter reading is between 14630 and 14631. Yesterday's reading was 14570 so my consumption in the last 24 hours has been 60½ kWh. That's 55% higher than my consumption in the previous 24 hours, and it is more than seven times my consumption on this date in 2013.

The temperature got into the 40s yesterday, but a cold front was expected last night. I guess it arrived as expected because the temperature was 28° when I got up this morning.
The rain has moved out of the area. It is a little cloudy this morning, but rain is not in the forecast. We do, however, have a brisk breeze this morning that makes it feel colder than it is.
This morning's meter reading is 14570. Yesterday's reading was 14531. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 39 kWh. That's nearly 22% higher than the previous 24 hours, and it is six times my consumption of a year ago.
