in THE MAIN WALL
I'd like to know what it cost him to have the driveway melted, not the system cost, just the running cost? snowblowers aren;t cheap either!

    It's supposed to be 72 degrees here in New York today

    Yesterday, the forsythia in our yard bloomed. What a year!
    Retired and loving it.

    Midwest weather

    Sounds like you folks faired pretty well compared to other areas. I just got off the phone with a gentleman in Columbia, Missouri who just managed to crawl to work through 15" of snow. Us folks here back east would definitely appreciate it if you kept that stuff out there thank you!

    Scott is out there

    on the new snow melt path, bare feet, no robe, a few inches of white in the wind.

    But no snow to be found anywhere.

    And here in Cape Girardeau, MO (a bit less than 200 air miles from Columbia, MO) just a few flakes of snow this morning after a day and night of rain. An ice storm was originally predicted but the below-freezing weather stayed north and west of us until the precipitation had moved north and east towards Chicago.

    High temp today looks like it will be 33° compared to highs in the 60s for nearly the entire past week.

    Snowmelt

    A snowmelt I installed over the summer had it's first real test last night and today northwest of Chicago. The freezing rain started about 10PM and he sat up watching his driveway untill 1AM. I imagined him bouncing out of bed like Christmas morning and checking the driveway.

    Sure enough, the first phone call of the day was from him, telling me how awesome the Tekmar 665 and Ultra boiler were. I think he really wanted me there to crack a beer with him at 7AM.

    I think I'll call him to take some pictures and I'll post them along with the installation pics.

    11.8\"

    I just got off the phone with him. He got 11.8" officially. He's gonna take some pics and e-mail to me. I told him to get the neighbors in the background shoveling their driveways.

    It was darn near 70 degrees here yesterday, next week it will not get much above freezing.

    I LOVE NY!

    Better cover that thing up Dan

    White stuff is headed your way.

    It was in the mid 60's here Wednesday. yesterday it cooled off (30's) and today we got buried. About 9" on the ground but it looks as though it's about done. The wind will now switch to the N/NW and the lake effect will bomb us every day for the next week if things are normal. (Forsythia blossoms in December are definitely NOT normal)

    Roundup

    I am headed out to round up the Holiday decorations-mine and the neighbors. Then off to the hardware store for new numbers for my house. I think the wind shifted it two houses west last night.
