Hi Joan, re:<The country had a warm winter>, don't know what's happened in your neck of the woods lately but we've had the unseasonably coldest March & April in northern NE I can remember. Payback for a mild November & December has been a bitch. We had two freak 88 and 90 degree days several weeks ago then back as low as 25 this week (May!) with little solar. I've been running the house heat round the clock till today. I saw snow 4 of 7 days last week and today's the first day I can't see it on the mountains in front of me. For me, that eliminates all my earlier heating savings and then some. They've been saying last quarter's "recovery" was helped by the warmest winter in a hundred years, well I'm of the opinion many consumers are going have an equal amount of bucks less to put into the economy (at least around here) this quarter. Hope they didn't already spend or charge their savings, not that anyone does that...
