year to year average temperatures by month

[JHZR2]

Hello,

We had a bit of a shocker this month on our gas bill. Nearly 3x the usage compared to last January, though we never have our home above 65F and have a programmable thermostat that keeps the house at 60-63 when we are out or sleeping (only maybe 6-8 hours out of the day is the house actually at 65F).

Our porch ceiling is ripped out and we can see right up to the rafters. However, we have the porch closed off by our living room "french doors" that go between our LR and our enclosed porch. Nothing else has changed at all, everything is closed up tight and is in good working order.

So Im just curious where I could find the average temperature for Philadelphia, y month, in 2007 specifically. Id also love to know the average to date for January 2008.

Any ideas where I can find this?

Thanks,

JMH

Hmmmm.. Our gas co, (Piedmont), puts that info on our monthly bill, avg. temp for the period and for the same period 1 year ago, along with a cute little bar graph of monthly usage for the last 13 months. Helps to understand where the money goes.

Check the NWS homepage, they have that info, as does Accuweather.

you need to find an almanac for Philadelphia.

Yeah but are those walls insulated (the ones closed off by the Franch Doors?). You have a chiller in your house. No not a thriller......MarkC gave you the groovy links, I'm just flippin' you the shad.

Nope, and the doors are c. 1930s and not tight in any way... draftiness!

Thanks all for the links, that got me the info I needed.

Where did my post go? Whoever deleted it should at least have the balls to tell me. That cloak-and-dagger deleting of posts, probably snickering-while-hiding-in-the-shadows, is really pathetic.

It was because you used the word "crotch" no doubt....and now you've gone and said "balls"!
alreadygone's veiled swipe at a forbidden target has also vanished.

I must have upset a crotchless wonder.

 

[MarkC]

Bwahahahahahaha!
Ooops. I didn't say that.
