Cambium you must have a really hefty electricity bill! Ironically even if it's much much cooler here, my room's currently at 77°F, exactly the same temp as outside.
.
Well, what one considers hefty, another might not. It averages $170/mth in the summer. $90/mth in winter. USD. It all evens out since during the winter I use a wood stove (free heat). so I dont pay for oil.
Ah I see.
Here it's the other way round, a lot of people actually have electricity heating! This leads to huge consumption peaks in winter. Fortunately, by 2013, with the new regulation, it will become nearly impossible to install such systems in new buildings.
Look closely and you can see the Heat Island capital of the country. LOL NYC is the only spot to have a Heat Advisory in the NorthEast (aside from the Heat Warning in Central/Souththern NJ)
Severe pop-up thunderstorm passing JUST BARELY to the north of my area. I don't think that my area will get directly hit, but it's awfully close and we might just get clipped by this nasty looking storm.
