About 4 inches of snow last night. I cleared the driveway in the morning since I had some deliveries scheduled in the afternoon. It is a lot easier clearing the snow right away. Time-lapse video recorded with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.
Daily Electric Energy Used (86.0 kWh) from Sense. Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (0.0 kWh) from Sense and SolSystems. The solar panels totally covered with snow. Geothermal HVAC system on. A deficit of 86.0 kWh.
It started snowing a bit after 07:00 in the morning and continued until 15:30 in the afternoon. Total accumulation 8-10 inches. As soon as it stopped snowing I went out with the snow blower to clear the driveway. It went a lot easier clearing the snow right away. Time-lapse video recorded with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.
Daily Electric Energy Used (88.3 kWh) from Sense. Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (0.0 kWh) from Sense and SolSystems. The solar panels covered with snow. Geothermal HVAC system on. A deficit of 88.3 kWh.
Weekly Electric Energy Used (524 kWh) from Sense. Weekly Solar Electric Energy Produced (30 kWh) from Sense and SolSystems. The solar panels covered with snow much of the week. Geothermal HVAC system on. A deficit of 496 kWh.
More snow (6-8″) is forecasted for tomorrow, so I needed to make sure that the driveway was cleared from the last storm. It took two runs with the snow blower. The first early in the morning when the snow was still hard, and a second run in the afternoon after the snow had softened. Both are combined in a time-lapse video taken with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.

More snow early this morning. I went out after the snow stopped to widen the path to the road using the Brush Mower with Snow-blower attachment. First had to replace the broken collar connecting the Snow-blower attachment to the Brush Mower. Luckily, an extra collar was included in the assembly kit from the manufacture. Some of the snow had melted and refrozen making the task more difficult. I need to get chains for the wheels. Time-lapse video taken with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.
