    Default February Stunk!

    Our electricity went up from $45.95 to $77.97 and our gas went up from $294.45 to $340.54. Very disappointing. Now, I realize that I've been home all day since February 15th, but still, I hadn't anticipated that much of an increase. Well, now I have a goal for March!

    I spent somewhere around $400 in oil and $130 on electricity. This is an all time high record for us. Ouch!

    don't forget. You had a nice big snowstorm around the 10th. If I remember you had cold weather before and after with only a few mild days.

    Now I'm afraid to open mine. I was anticipating a decrease in the bill.

    I can only get better.

    Feb was a budget buster for electricity, maybe since Jan was so mild here, that cold snap really got us.. Spring is near!
