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. Just got solar and heat pumps in December - albeit the latter is mostly for cooling due to the direct southern exposure we have. I'm impressed with their production. Even with the solar min, and "cold" season we're having, I'm covering 80% of my electric to date. By the time the equinox rolls around I'm sure I'll be at 100%, and then will net-meter all warm season and get my ROI in 5 years as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted Saturday at 02:01 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:01 AM What an awesome winter. Snowing again, I can’t get over how good the conditions are. On that note, we still have a lot of vacation homes available for Mass and NH school vacation weeks. We have a special offer to email subscribers going out on Sunday for a “name your own price” deal. Happy to roll it out to anyone on this forum too; just email [email protected] the desired home and/or any requirements (n of bedrooms, n of people, pet or no pets), your offer, and we will try to match with owners that are willing to give that price. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyEnjoyer Posted Saturday at 02:50 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:50 AM Barred owl from my bedroom window yesterday afternoon. Little bastard didn't hang around long enough for me to adjust my camera settings properly though. Was way off on anything sensible for such a shot. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry's Weather Posted yesterday at 03:09 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:09 AM Fitbit tells me I burned 6300 calories today by shoveling my house, running through the snow to gf’s house, and shoveling her house. Ah, to be young! (Which I am) Although I seem to lack that sort of energy whenever it isn’t snowing. Thats the mark of a true weenie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted yesterday at 08:09 AM Share Posted yesterday at 08:09 AM One of the best storms for CT in the past 10 years (other than Feb 1 2021). Lots of thunder snow and 2-3" daytime rates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted yesterday at 08:20 AM Share Posted yesterday at 08:20 AM That was a cool event. It took awhile to get the better snow growth here but once it did we got 18 plus in 6 hours! We ended up with just a shade under two feet. The only bummer about 2/13 was that it happened at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the things i remember the most about that storm and read a lot of similar accounts. They were like baseball sized flakes for like the first hour (aggies sticking together). And then the CG thunder snow/sleet at sunset was unreal. A bolt struck my neighbors backyard and was incredibly loud, haven't seen anything that good. But have seen thundersnow a lot since then. Feb 03, Feb 13, Feb 17, Mar 18 also had thundersnow here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feb 03, Feb 13, Feb 17, Mar 18 also had thundersnow here. I lived in Bristol CT during that event. We had a lot of thunder and lightning later in the evening I don't remember much about flakes size but it snowed at least two/hr for several hours with peak rates in the thunder snow reaching three/hr briefly. We picked up 18-19 inches from that and temps were right below 30F . That was man snow. We likely had around 2 inches melted equiv. With the six inch glacier beneath it we averaged just over 2 feet otg. Awesome storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow totals weren’t as epic across the state, but the societal impact was unprecedented in the 20th century among CT winter storms. If we have a top 4 Mount Rushmore, I think October 2011 is fourth because of its rarity and societal impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
