Went for a hike in the first snow of the season, then put the plow on my atv and plowed the driveway.
We were supposed to leave for Florida from the cold Canadian prairies on Monday but a weather system was coming to the Dakotas and Minnesota so we scrambled to leave on Sunday. We left at 11 and drove through some bad weather but made it through okay...lots of vehicles in the ditches!!
It's usually a 27 hour drive that we split into 3 days but we didn't get very far day 1, plus I didn't feel like a long day after driving through a storm so we decided to split it into a 4 day trip. On Monday we stayed outside of St. Louis, and tonight we're near Pulaski, TN. We'll be in Panama City Beach tomorrow.
I just heard on the National News that you folks just got your first measurable snow fall of the year. I see your post confirming that earlier today.Went for a hike in the first snow of the season, then put the plow on my atv and plowed the driveway.
I drove to a local solar store to pick up 6 solar panels of 327W each. These will bring the total number to 34 panels.
This will keep me busy to install them in spring. Mounting the panels on the roof is not hard. Installing the inverters and battery for an off-grid system takes a lot more work, plus running the wires from the panels down to the battery/electronics, then taking the 115V from there to the house panel.
NW says off grid. No supplier I guess.

NW is a rich guy and lives in civilization, with all the modern-day luxuries. I doubt he is out chopping wood every day to eat a hot meal or carrying water to bath. Lol
