Lawns really starting to green up here. Dropping my fertilizert this week.

Lots of stuff sprouting in the beds here and the lawn is really greening up.

+1.6 for HVN.

It's full on spring down here on the shoreline. Daffodils, crocus and skunk cabbage are sprouting.

Recent update to the most northen palm tree on the east coast.

62 here and Daffodils,crocus, and swamp cabbage is sprouting... Time to fire up the lawn thread...

Anyone else catch the planetary parade? Clear here with a nice sunset and view of mars and Jupiter.

I remember awhile back they were trimming along 395 in CT. They had like an insane 18 wheeler size chipper that was just shredding whole large trees into the woods. Seemed like an absolute waste.

Saw some daffodils popping on Branford point yesterday. It's coming.

No better way than heating your house all day for free directly from the sun with zero work, combustion, or carbon emissions. Here are my 2 high efficiency mini splits running non-stop all day yesterday while being powered directly from the sun.

Rough drive home from VT with whiteout conditions from the wind on 103. 91 was chunks of ice flying off cars and truck. Heaviest icing on trees looked to be around Northampton and Meriden.

I'm staying in Pittsford and we turned around this morning on 4 after we saw so many cars off the road. Heard a Killington bus went off the road as well. Ended up snowshoeing the Otter Creek instead..

I'm in Pittsford and it just flipped to heavy snow here recently.

Just flipped back to heavy snow here in Pittsford.

About to get crushed here in Killington. As of 616 AM EST Sunday...Some adjustments needed to the fcst based on a few snowfall reports overnight and latest sfc trends and 06z model guidance. Already 5.4" inches of snowfall at BTV and 5.5" in Woodbury, while Norwich has 1.8". Based on this have bumped snowfall up near the International Border and acrs north-central VT as more snow is expected. Crnt radar is showing an impressive band of moderate mixed precip entering southern VT attm, which wl quickly develop into central/northern VT and NY over the next 1 to 2 hours

Whats up with BTV'S radar compared to ENX?

15 and heavy snow here in Killington . Radar looks amazing out west.

We skied Pico yesterday and it wasn't busy at all. Locals said like 50% of people either canceled or didn't show up this weekend.

17 degrees and just dumping snow here at Killington. Nice band going into central VT.

2 inches Branford.

Yeah. Some decent totals from the shoreline east of BDR. 4.3 Branford

Here’s how much snow has accumulated so far in Connecticut, according to the National Weather Service: Seymour – 5″ Groton – 4.5″ Clinton – 4.2″ New London – 4.2″ Danbury – 4.2″ Branford – 4″ North Haven – 4″ Meriden – 3.6″ Wallingford – 3.4″ Coventry – 3.3″ Waterbury – 3.3″ Staffordville – 3″ Torrington – 3″

Light snow here all morning around New Haven even though the radar shows nothing.

24 still here on the shoreline near New Haven with moderate snow.

I'm not off grid as I'm still connected but my house has been all electric/solar since 2017. My panels took only 5 years to reach their return on investment here in CT with the 3rd most expensive electricity in the US. My Eversource bill has been pretty much the $9.62 minimum service charge every month. Here is a shot yesterday of my solar powering my 2 mini splits directly from the sun from 10-4. It's also sending all the extra back to the grid and I'm on 1 to 1 net metering so any excess powers them at night for free. Also notice my mini splits run nonstop all day at low power where they are crazy efficient. Entire house stays nice and warm at 70 all day.
