Yeah we have a heat pump too but it doesn’t cut it at these temps. The system automatically switches to propane below 10 degrees or so. Aside from the efficiency issues, you also get ice outs on the heat pump in the winter which can be a problem so a backup is always necessary. But the fireplace is awesome! It has a fresh air intake from the outside and a catalytic combustor, the thing gets HOT! Plus it has a fan that brings the heat downstairs. I discovered too late that it could be tied into the hvac system to distribute the hot air throughout the house, but it works great as it is.

And now my turn to be without heat! Noticed last evening that the furnace is in error mode. Reset it and it just goes right back there. Fortunately with the insulation of 18” logs and the heating fireplace, the house is above 70F on all floors in spit of not having had heat for 12 hours and a low temperature of -21

Our Christmas deer now looks like the Loch Ness monster

Sorry to hear PF.

Snow showers seem to be done and some faint sunshine is poking through. Conditions are incredible; just don’t try to use your poles to push yourself in ungroomed terrain, they just sink all the way to the bottom lol.

A couple more inches overnight and still snowing. Great storm. I love seeing my deck chairs almost buried

The CoCohRas near there reported 1.3 or so of liquid so it just can’t be right

Haven't been there today since school was cancelled but I can't imagine that's right

You gotta know which trails to avoid. On a day like this, the glades are just incredible This was a top 10 day for sure

Amazing day out there and it’s ripping again

I’m sure. You guys just temporarily borrowed what is rightfully ours

I measured 11, resort says 14+

Holy cow. I just looked outside lol. Firepit is gone, snow is halfway up the back of the chairs

I’ll definitely be out there!

It’s just pouring snow out there. Beautiful

Absolutely dumping out

3” so far and a scary drive home

Just teasing. I accept my place as the red headed stepchild of NNE

How about me??? No love for me??? Snow started. Godspeed, everyone. Let the snow bury you all to the roofs

Snow has started here

Nice and toasty out, but walkways are a sheet of ice

It was pretty amazing. The snow has a perfect consistency - not soft, not hard

Nice! They definitely do a nice job forecasting for the mountains.

I have lots of respect for the BTV office, but those decimal point forecasts are just silly. I like GYX approach of using ranges a lot better

Geez, lucky you. -22 here lol
