I financed with a low interest home equity loan through my credit union. My monthly payment was basically my average monthly electric bill. Instead of paying for electricity I paid my loan off.. My Eversource bill has been $9 for just the service charge for the last 4 years. If your in Massachusetts the incentives are obscene. They have one now for batteries/powerwalls. I think 1 powerwall retails for 7k. You can get 3 for less than that. This system would cost like 3 to 4x the amount in Ohio. This is a Tesla quote for ny sister in Boston. The incentives in Mass are nuts. I think your payback period is 4-5 years and then its free electricity for the next 20.

Finally got some good hikes in at the Supply Ponds. The destruction is unreal there. You ever get over there to take a look?

Yep. Big gust and temp went from 61 to 76 here in minutes.

Just came over 84 from NY. What a torch in the Hudson Valley. My work van was bouncing around 77-80.

Yep. Been an epic month for production.

Dolphins are here as well!

I work in a skilled trade. Been hearing from a lot of people new work is really starting to plummet off a cliff. I heard a few places have started to lay people off. It starting to sound like the COVID boom with people doing work around their house is coming to a end. There is also a huge drop in commercial work.

Its an early spring here on the CT shoreline. Was raking this morning and my Hydrangeas have leaves popping. I had stuff sprouting already in Mid January.

Lumber prices are through the roof again. They are even higher than last years peak. Just saw a single non PT 2 x 4 going for almost $8.

GON putting up an impressive 23 for a low. Was the 2nd coldest low in the state overnight.

Robins arrived here and are all over my lawn this morning.

To those with solar, March has been a epic month so far for production. Going on 11 straight days of almost full sun here.

Have you tried delta 8 thc yet? I picked up some distillate and made some edibles and vaped some. I have been enjoying it. Don't think its going to be legal much longer though.

Congrats Mexico for legalizing marijuana. This will put a lot of pressure on the US with weed now legal in both Canada in Mexico.

Its already underway.

Some low 60's in SW CT already. My van just said it was 63 driving on 95.

I'm on the CT shoreline and have a cabin in NW NJ. Both areas have had an insane amount of precipitation the last year. I expect this spring for the same area to jackpot as it has the last year.

Wonder how accurate of a trajectory they could get. I bet people are going to start searching for fragments. Meteorites sell for big money if I remember correctly.

Looks like the BTV airport camera caught the meteor. https://m.imgur.com/1AqNCIa

Hope everyone is ready for our favorite Canadian friends. Huge flocks of them just showed up Weds on the shoreline. Still out there today.

Get there if you can. I went 4 years ago and it was a quick flight from NYC. I think it's actually less flight time than flying to the west cost. What's incredible there is everything is geothermal. The power is like practically free and they send all the waste heat from the power plants to heat homes. Every person I asked said you basically just pay for maintenance on pipes and wires. They said it cost the equivalent of like $40 month for their heat and electricity.
