Sure, I realize that the official start
of winter is December the 21st. (A day that has the
longest night and shortest day, aka the Winter Solstice)! That's
nice, but for me, any day that sees temperatures averaging in
the forties qualifies it as 'winter like'. And,
even though we had one day that saw 70, most were on the cool side.
Unfortunately, the trend will only go down hill over the next three
to four months! While November sees average readings of 58F to 34F,
December averages 46F to 24F with January at 45F to 22 degrees and
February rounds out the winter period at 50F and 26F respectively!
These readings average down to 46F, 35F, 33.5F and 38F and so are
quite cool to cold.
With
electric rates 13% higher this year than last, I can be sure to see
quite a bite if this winter is at or below average! Therefore, I plan
to to do everything I can think of to employ cost saving devices over
the coming months. I am also planning on selling my home soon and on
downgrading to something smaller and hopefully more heating/cooling
efficient.
