I had a bit more than you in snow, I saw your total earlier. I had measured 8.25" but went with 8 in the end along with 3" of sleet for an estimated 11". I definitely had more than the 1.5" and I thick you did too :-). I will say that the plow came by about an hour ago and the removal of that left over snow was some of the hardest I have ever had to deal with. I am on the second half of my life as well.
May have already been said, but I would love to see the this place explode with a faster transfer on the Nam. Even get a CCB going. May take the board down.
My neighbor has a heat pump but it is one of the better ones were it is deep in the ground. If it is the better kind of heat pump you may not need a ton of electricity. Gas has been better for years and years as to cost.
My summer bills are usually higher than winter bills but we like to keep it 68ish in the summer.
In a grocery store in in Hanover PA today and people arguing over the last few loaves of bread....went to Jubilee in Emmitsburg and it was like there was not a storm, bread galore. PA Folk being too dramatic.
