I openned my electric bill today and almost croaked! It doubled from last month's. We keep the house a chilly 65- 67 degrees but turn on a gas fireplace to warm up one room and 2 small electric heaters in sewing room and hubby's office. It's only the 2 of us and some pets. I guess the cold weather just bumped the bill up. Man, I'm ready for warmer weather but I don't see it in the near future. One can only put on some many socks and sweaters :)
