If you can, do it, especially if you have decent exposure. My 535KW panel installation has a ESE exposure and I still do fine. I'm divorced and don't use the electric oven or clothes dryer very much. I haven't had an electric bill since installation in 2012. Also, since 2012, solar panels have really come down in price and I believe there is still a federal tax credit. I got 30% off the price.

How about some links from reputable sources to back up your claims. I haven't heard of this pivoting before.

90.6F for the high today.

4.75" here, all in very light events which I measured on my deck or car top. I never had any snow that stayed on the ground for more than a day and none stuck to paved surfaces. It was a very disappointing winter except for the savings in fuel oil. I'm looking forward to another winter where we have a western U.S ridge instead of a persistent trough. On the brighter side concerning this winter, California has greatly reduced it's drought conditions and northern New England's ski areas still did okay. Both regions depend on at least normal rain/snowfall.

I follow your sub a lot and it seems this winter season is at should be up there. Northern N.E has received plenty of snow which keeps the economy up there at least above head due to ok skiing and snowmobiling. Another positive is California receiving enough rain and snow to keep their reservoirs full and hopefully replenish the groundwater reservoirs. As far as central New England goes, you may be below average but at least most of you had white ground cover for a while. Alas, down here in west/central N.J I have only received about 2" of snow which never stayed around for more than a day.

You can't pay these people enough!

Just my two cents but I want to thank all the mets and knowledgeble hobbyist for all their input into the analysis of this storm starting at least a week ago. The progression of this event has just about all of the aspects a person could expect from a coastal. This has been a tremendous learning event. My only regret is it wasn't a DC to Boston KU. It's been sooooo long.

I should have measured every 10 minutes and cleared the board. Maybe I could have gotten an inch or two. Lol

Absolutely true, but it is better for wienies like me to have snowfall exceed expectations than be disappointed when the 10:1 clown maps don't work out. Experienced mets usually have a better grasp of regional situations and know when modeled snow depth change is too low.

If people would look at the "total positive snow-depth change" instead of the 10:1 total snowfall maps their expectations would be more realistic.

It's been snowing here since 8 this morning and there is less on the ground than an hour after it started.

Up to 3/4" now. Radar looks good, and if the temps had been lower the last few days there likely would have been much more accumulation on surfaces. Snowfall has been moderate for the last few hours and it's beautiful outside. 33F

About 1/2" accum so far. Only on grassy surfaces and my deck. I didn't expect this. I love it when it snows during daylight.

Thanks. I appreciate your response.

I'm not sure where you stand on snowfall totals but at my age I would love to see an all day heavy snowfall that I could enjoy looking at, and then the following morning not have to clear the snow to resume normal activity. I would really like to see the proportions of posters here that depend on others to clear the snow so that they can get to work as opposed to those that depend on their moms or dads.

light/moderate white rain. 34F

As much as this winter has sucked for us, the fact is that, relative to normal, it has been awful for the mid-atlantic and central/southern New England also. So many wienies like me have shared the pain.

Tip a while back said that was what was needed.

Got 1" here. Everything is white except paved surfaces.

A better verification score regarding which parameters? I have wondered about this for a long time. My guess would be long/short wave evolution but perhaps a met could clear this up.

The one here.

Thanks. I'm going to up my total. Anything helps this winter. Lol. P.S I usually post in the Philly forum. Give it a try.

When did you measure? I waited until this morning and had about 1.5". When I looked outside last night around 10pm it looked like more than that. I live a little south of Branchburg near the WAWA and Fuscos on 202.

Occasional flakes. Sooner than I expected. 39/27

0" yesterday and 7/8" so far this winter . Just posting here to help cheer you up a little. Lol
