That’s plausible.... I think it was woods... but the folks next door to the development have horses and what not, so it’s definitely possible that is what’s happening

He said there’s a ton of reasons... may not have been sealed properly, wasn’t disinfected after installation, water sat for a long time before we bought the house... could have been in the lines to the house. It’s 180 feet... so not super deep... but also not shallow

@dryslot and others who have given me feedback on my well water situation. My water treatment guy came and did a bacteria test and it came back positive for total coliform bacteria. His recommendation was to shock the well, which is what I did... let it sit in the line for a day and the smell has since disappeared. Quite happy that (at least for now) something simple solves the problem.

Yes, absolutely. I think that absolutely plays a large role as well. The house retains heat pretty well.

My parents had two mini splits in their house and they worked well, but their electric bill skyrocketed. Outside of solar... I think more or less you’re just picking which energy source you want to spend your money on. We have a 500 gallon buried propane tank that is responsible for heat only. When we bought the house last year we filled it for $1000 and to this point, have only used 10% of the tank since turning the heat on last month. I’m not sure we’ll make it through the entire winter... but based on what I was paying for natural gas in my smaller condo... this will be cheaper and more efficient, at least personally. Propane also burn pretty clean compared to oil, etc.

What a melt. Piles even mostly gone here. December to reMEHmber

56 degrees 1.22” of rain so far. Snow is gone

1.15” rain

0.2” new ( added it myself)

If last years will not work, can I have the new credentials. Thanks again

A storm like yesterday is a prime example of how you will get a much lower number if you just stick a yardstick in the ground at the end of the event. Your losing several inches at least. Same concept measuring and clearing once every six hours too. Yesterday your probably losing a few inches of whatever fell when you take a reading at 6 hour intervals. Sucks because it makes the storm seem less impressive.

We have the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant here. Huge perk of living in Taunton. Ive lived here my whole life (24 years) and have lost power maybe a dozen times? And never lost it for more than a few hours. during this 3 storm blitz I’ve lost it once for 25 minutes.

Going with 18.1” total here... bob was about 17” and Matt (butterfish) also in that area. Feel good about it as we are all usually close. this has been an odd winter for sure. Heart of winter was a furnace basically, but we’ve had some good events on the front and back end. looks like I’ve recorded 16 measurable events in the snow table.. most obviously small, but I’d be curious if there is an average number of measurable snows we get around here per season

Yeah... implying someone is lying is kind of a low blow. I guess that’s easier than admitting error in where heaviest sat up?

The last inch in that quick band that rolled through around 8 was pure see through fluff. rarely see that here... almost unheard of in March. I expect the same if the band to the West makes it in

Not ready to go final here yet. That band tint the west could drop another inch or two if it makes it here

Hard to believe we wasted 4-5 in subsistence getting light sawdust and still saw 18”. This storm was legit

Death band at the end and the small band right behind made this storm memorable. About 18” storm total. Roads are a total disaster here.. bottom inch is frozen solid and the plow aren’t getting it up. About as impressive as a March event as you’ll see here.

Wow Ray, nice.

Looks like 1 more band to move through here... maybe can score 1 more inch

Just about 18” here... intensity really letting up now

17”.... made up some ground

Dumping snow... 15” total... about 12” in the ground
