    Trend has been ticking colder at the surface and in the mids, Looks like were getting some confluence too, Lets see if it continues.

    Going to guess I'm cooked even if it continues. Maybe snag am inch if I'm lucky on the front end.

    Good stuff. I should clarify that I have had a couple days with a couple inches of cover, but with bare spots under trees. I’ve used my snowblower once. You had to be out early today since a lot of it vaporized once the sun came out. In any case, while I’ve appreciated what we’ve gotten it’s been paltry.

    Paltry is the right word.  Painful, too.  Same here on the snowblower front and that stuff was maybe more liquid than solid.

    Yeah, we were out there at 830 or so, fog kept the sun away until about 10.

    I haven’t had my grass fully covered yet. Saw kids today trying to sled in patchy shaded areas; reminded me of living in  the southern mid-Atlantic.

    Really?  Today made for 5 days this season with >2" depth (wow, I know - but for 6.8" on the season, I'll take it).

    Kids were up and after it early at Fort Williams.

    I really feel bad for the folks in Northern Maine, There taking it on the chin with the lack of snow up there.

    It's a big problem economically.  The big ski resorts can withstand a bad season.  The towns in Northern/Western ME rely on the winter economic boost to survive.

    Speaking of puke.. stomach flu has crushed me since last night .EPS keeps pushing back . Hope wrong , worry right . 

    Ripping through my house, too.  There are 4 humans and 3 toilets and somehow there aren't enough places to puke.

    Hats off to cmp for getting power restored, at least in our hood very quickly. First outage was 3.5hr and 2nd was 2hrs. Ordinarily, we'd be powerless much longer. Probably had to do with all the out of state line workers that were still here from last weekend

    Very surprised how quick that happened.  We were onlu out for about 17-18 hours total.

    I have that same setup, and my electrician didn't say anything about needing to ground the genny, and he's very "by the book" with stuff.  The genny does have a ground wire that connects the engine block to the frame, I believe.  But per the Generac site..."When connecting to an electrical panel (building electrical system, manual transfer switch, RV, etc.) you need to connect your generator to a ground rod. Ground rods must be pounded into the earth, then connected to the ground lug on the generator via a ground cable. The rod must be at least 8ft into the earth."

    This the first I've heard of this.  Not sure how the hell to get a 8' rod into the ground in New England.  Good luck finding a clear 8' shot without hitting a rock.

    Thanks.  And likewise.   Only reason I questioned it was in reading the manual last night it mentioned grounding it with a rod 8' deep. 

  8. I have a portable generator that I inherited brand new.  House has one of these exterior outlets to plug it into.  Breaker inside has one of those safety interlocks on it so you can't accidentally send feedback into the main line and kill a lineman.  

     

    My question is:  Should my portable generator be grounded with a rod, or is the ground "covered" by plugging into my breaker panel via external outlet?  No clear answer via googles.

    4.3”/0.37” in the latest core. That’s a total of 9.4” so far.

    It’s a good thing I took a look at the run because the snow was clinging to the strands of the hawk netting and eventually closed off the 1”x1” squares. It was like a solid roof of 4-5” of snow and was stretching to the ground about as far as it could go. I was able to shake it from every fence side to get the snow to fall through. It probably would’ve snapped by morning. 
     

    Anyway…32.5° and -SN/SN. 

    This stuff cakes up fast and heavy.  Coop saved.

    Throwing some straw and scratch in the run tomorrow afternoon.

     

    2.3" (0.74" LE) new since 7PM, 3.3" (1.69" LE) on the day.  

     

    32.2°F and SN
