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.

Light snow just started here. Radar looks great to the SW.

Same total in Branford and the best snow event of the winter for the HVN area... a clipper. Haha

3.2 Branford.

Outside those 6 days of cold it wasn't really that cold here on the shoreline. HVN was +.9. It was also sunny most of the month. My solar production from Oct-Jan has been the highest in 5 years. Also, some of the lowest Jan electricity consumption by my heat pumps due to all the solar gain.

Someone on Reddit posted a young purple gallinule sighting the other week in the snow. https://www.reddit.com/r/whatbirdisthis/s/mBZ1LPdWMt Map of its range.

I lived in Burlington from 2005-2007 and Jan-Mar 2007 there was an absolutely epic stretch of cold and snow. I got to experience the Valentines day blizzard which set BTV's snowfall record with 25.3. Then to close out the winter there was like a foot of snow on 3/17 St Patrick's day. I think BTV got like 120 inches that year. I think @powderfreaklived there around the same time.

Had some hail in Branford and there was an insane amount of lighting out on the sound. It all rolled through at like exactly midnight as well.

Awesome. That's what I thought it was. Was just going to ask if it was a blight resistant one but saw someone else chimed in.

What tree is that in the middle?

56 degrees here and we still growing...

Isn't this sort of critical for aviation? Like icing and stuff? Seems crazy a sensor can be allowed to stray that much when it's purpose is mainly aviation..

Lots of oil fired electricity being made right now at like 10x the normal price.

I mistyped. It was-23. I worked in the HVAC industry in Burlington and remember a week being on call of like 7 days straight with subzero temps. Everyone's boilers/furnaces were running nonstop. People running out of oil in a few days.
