  1. Most definitely. The pellet stove was installed by them prior owners of our house about 6 months before we bought it, otherwise I never would have installed one personally. At some point I would love to switch over to a gas insert. I hate having to dick around with the pellets, and constantly clean the thing out
  2. We have a pellet stove. The first two Winters we tried to use it season long to supplement the gas heat. We found it saves absolutely no money, and actually cost more. What it is good for is marginal days when we can shut off the gas and just keep the first floor living room area warm. It saves a lot in the in between seasons. I just picked up another half ton a couple days ago
  3. I understand. I just don't see how they sustain the situation that's causing this. Not trying to be political, and somewhat parroting a couple neighbors who are very "in the know" Lets hope! They're thinking a month or two +/-
  4. They already started, but are already starting to stabilize. I doubt this lasts very long...IMO Glad I have Natural Gas, and Westfield Gas and Electric... screw eversource
  5. 35 and puke worthy in Simsbury at the moment. Fenway park in April... and May
  6. You ain't the only one B**** Never saw so much sand
  7. Nice! I believe my largest March pack was 1996... or maybe 1978. I do NOT have Will's memory, so... about 8 to 10 inches left in Westfield as of yesterday evening
  8. Is that your North side? We've been in our house for 10 years now and never come close to an ice dam... until now.I have some repairs to do i the spring. Maybe i can blame it on Mr. Shitfaced who rolled his truck into our house last month
  9. Please, take it. I'm done with ice. Took one step outta my van yesterday and fell on my ass... and I never fall. Well, shoulder actually and it still hurts this A.M. Been repaired before also...
  10. Yeah, my "lifetime" back saver lasted two storms. Unfortunately for them, I save EVERY receipt
  11. I agree, but we ended up with 2 inches before the changeover in Westfield yesterday. Maybe I didn't pay attention, but i don't recall models showing that either
  12. For sure. Now we have snow eating fog in the valley this A.M. Pack will dissipate very quickly today between the fog and 50s
  13. Up to 36 in Simsbury, tons of ice to melt. We just had a massive fog bank roll in, not even quarter mile visibility right now
  14. At least you still have snow falling, we're stuck with Kevin's saggy boob pine trees down here
  15. Been stuck at 27 here in Westfield the last several hours. Lots of freezing drizzle
  16. Coming down very nicely now. Just over a half an inch in the last 40 minutes
  17. Coming down nicely in Westfield right now. Roads are pretty much a sloppy gelatinous mess thanks to the ridiculous type of ice melter they use these days
  18. I totally get what you're saying, but the roads are super slick here right now. I Blame A lot of it on them insisting on using this damn Clear Lane ice melter on the highways! All it does is make things extra slick during light to moderate snowfalls. The nice thing in my area is a few towns have started using sand again During certain storms after many years of never seeing it laid out on the roads
  19. Tort reform is desperately needed, but never comes
  20. Regarding schools closing I can tell you that some of it is simply that some systems don't have the maintenance staff that they did a decade or two ago. I've seen it myself in a couple systems where I do electrical maintenance. They can't keep up with stairs and sidewalks let alone parking lots. And then of course there's always our litigious society
  21. No clouds yet in Westfield, and a little eclipse before the storm. 8 degrees Edit: Was lucky to see it, 10 minutes after this picture the clouds rolled in
  22. It's been a really decent winter, but I agree.. I'm pretty much done. Too many unfinished outdoor projects to complete, and the RAM needs a massive detail
