Unlike this year (2012) with temperatures averaging as much
as seven degrees above normal, last February began in the deep freezer.
According to my records, we had about two inches of crusty sleet and snow on
the ground with temperatures that got down to eight above zero. As a result my
furnace labored hard to keep the house warm and burned through over a hundred
kWh’s each of the first few days.
I remember that so well because, that year, I maintained a
Weather Log. A journal as it were, where I kept pretty concise records
pertaining to not only my energy use, but also the ambient temperatures of many
rooms in my home three times a day. Now, as you might expect, this was a lot of
work and something I don’t plan on doing again!
