HOW HIGH WILL THE ELECTRIC BILLS GO

It is 11 degrees here. Our electric has been running and just won't cut off. I thought it may have tore up so I called some of my friends and they are having the same problem. So don't go and change it over to emer. heat. I even went and read up on problems with central heat and found out it could be not going off enough because of our filter. So we changed it. It seemed to help it. But it was not that dirty just so cold outside. I did learn one thing new. Don't never run your air if it is under 50 degrees outside. It said that by doing this you could ruin your central air. I sure did not know this. My daughter done this around Christmas from where we had been cooking and it got so hot we flipped it over on air to cool off. I don't know if it was 50 outside or not. Hope it never ruined anything.
I will sure hate to see our electric bill for Jan. some of our friends bills was $355.00. Now that is enough to buy your groceries for a month. And a lot of the people don't have enough income to pay these bills. I guess we may all have to go back to coal. But it is around $100.00 a ton now. So we can't win for losing. I also found out that if you have a fireplace don't burn fresh wood in it as it will stop it up. Use last years seasoned wood. That I did not know. So it just goes to show you are never to old to learn something new. I pray that everyone can stay warm and just don't be out unless you have to. Let someone know if you go outside. You may fall and they may think you are where you were going and not think to check on you and you would freeze before you know it. Make sure the dogs water is fresh. They have to drink just like us. Add some warm water to their buckets or bowls because it is so cold coming out of the sink it will be cold on them trying to drink it also.
