This is a very concise account of the weather. Probably others who really follow this type analysis “get it” quickly. What do you mean by: *There were 697 heating degree days and 0 cooking degree days. *
Hope you, Marla, and your family are well. Dave and I had our first Covid vaccines several weeks ago. We get our second vaccines next week. I’m concerned about the reactions that some people get. Whatever the case, it’s better than the horrid disease.
Be well, Marcia

Heating and cooling degree days are an index of how much energy is used to heat or cool a home.
For heating degree days during a day: HDD = 68 – (Tmax + Tmin)/2 in deg F
For cooling degree days during a day: CDD = (Tmax + Tmin)/2 – 68 in deg F
