Daily Electric Energy Used (85.5 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (0.0 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. Snow covered the solar panels. Overall a net deficit of 85.5 kWh.
Rain, then freezing rain (0.7 inches). No snow yet. I cleaned and filled the bird feeders yesterday. Even in the freezing rain some birds showed up. A pair of female House Finches with icicles on the bird feeder.

Cat, mouse, and rabbit on my patio — all caught on an infrared video camera.
Daily Electric Energy Used (83.0 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (27.9 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. The day started sunny, then the clouds came in. Overall a net deficit of 55.1 kWh.
Monthly Electric Energy Used (2144 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (734 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. Overall a net deficit of 1410 kWh. Although this means I will need to pay a power bill to PSE&G this month, I am getting SREC credits that will cover the expense.
At this time of the year, I often get to see colorful dawn clouds before the sun rises. The following are composites of 41 images showing a 360 degree view of my backyard at dawn transformed into a flat (2D) image. The images were taken with a Nikon D850 camera and 8-15 mm fisheye lens (ISO 100, 15 mm, f/5, 1/30 sec), then processed with Capture One Pro and AutoPano Giga Pro. Some of the images are over 1 GB in size, and even with a Surface Studio Pro 2 computer and dedicated video processor with lots of memory took a long time to process.

A rather small young doe inside my electric fence. She was wondering why I was pointing a large lens at her. I told her happy Thanksgiving, and we wouldn’t be having venison for dinner.
