A colder than normal November means high heating costs!

As the month of November 2014 closes itself out with average temperature of 6 degrees lower than what has been historically normal, the difference will really be felt in increased heating costs! This month, I will come in at about 1300 kWh versus a November 2013 total of just 890! In terms of cash, that will be about a $140 bill! An amount that will wipe out any savings I received from lower than expected gasoline prices (currently at $2.54 per gallon).

Rainfall for this month was a meager 1.73 inches versus a normal or average of 4.9 inches! So, overall the moderate drought situation for people like me, living in southwest Missouri continues unabated.

As they say, cheer up! Things might be worse. December is fast approaching and perhaps we'll make up for the lack of rain with a lot ice and snow!
