While there is some snow in the Western Adirondacks and the higher elevation locations of the Green Mountains, last night’s heavy rain did a number on the snow in most of eastern Adirondacks and Hudson Valley.

Today got me remembering how long and harsh winters are in Upstate New York
Today got me remembering how long and harsh winters are in Upstate New York. ❄️ I do look jealously as people down south this time of year, the cows eating fresh grass, 🌱 🐄 even with all the mud and melt. 👢 Winter just seems to be such a long slog in Upstate New York, although after today, it looks like we are in a moderating trend for at least a little while. 
Maybe I’d feel different if I owned my own land, 
and heated with wood, 
but I just hate being cold in winter, 
trapped in my tiny little apartment paying a ton for heat. 
Snow Depth – Thursday February 18
Compared to recent years, there i s quite a bit of snow on the ground, both in the valley and certainly in the higher elevations. Over two feet of snow in many parts of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains.
Technology Connections – Space Heater Nonsense
Yes, even the cheapest space heater works as well as the most expensive one. And most have exactly the same heat output -- 1.5kWh or 5,200 BTU -- as that's what the electric code says. And because fossil electric plants aren't exactly efficient are converting fossils into electricity, they are much more expensive then burning fossils right in your home.
