WINTER SEASON 9 PER CENT COLDER THAN LAST YEAR Heating bills will be higher this winter than last, according to a Spokesman for Northern Illinois Gas company. The current season to Tuesday, Feb. 25, was almost 9 per cent cold-? er than last year and about the same as "normal." - "Normal' weather, baaed on an' average of 25 years from 1928-29 to 1952-53, is computed in terms of "degree days." Number of ^degree days indicates' relative amount of heat required. A degree day is determined, by averaging the twenty-four h o u r l y t e m p e r a t u r e s f r o m noon -- a gas company "day". This average , is subtracted from 65 (the temperature below which homes usually need furnace heat) and the result is the number of degree days. Thus, from noon Feb. 16 td'* .noon Feb. i7,, when the twen- v ty-'four hour average teinpera-^;• ture was two degrees beloWv v zero, the utility chalked up a> 67-degree day--coldest day re-r;; corded since Jhe 67-degree day~- of Jan. 16, 1957. §f, • •• • - - u*nr The present season total tap Feb. 25 wa^ 4,541 degree daysfR? . approximately the same amount; of cold as the normal 4,545 foife, the same period, and nearly 9* - per cent colder than last year's^ total of 4,168 to the same date.
