Sorry, I started a new thread because this answers many questions about weather and your power bill and thought it would get lost below and I am kinda late to the party.  This attached chart shows the effect a really cold weather on you power bill, especially if you have heat pumps.  I have two.  I am at my house every weekend and the power usage goes up.  However, look at the days where the high was 30's and low was teens.  I keep temp set during week at 60 (day and night) and 70 on weekend day and 64 on weekend night.... WiFi internet 7-day thermostat.  On super cold weekday, it cost $30 - $40 per day to maintain 60 degrees in the house.  On a normal winter day it is usually let than $10.  Total bill this year $498 and last year $323. I got really cold week of Jan 1 and Jan 17,18, 19.  Heat pumps use a lot of power when it gets really cold!!!

Sorry chart is grainy.  I had to snap photo of computer screen.
