Day 802: Winter storm Vulcan

After an hour on a conference call with Astrum Solar, we have a decision to make.  If we accept the new layout that puts all the panels on the house roof, we will lose 2000 kWh of production.  The district manager wants to work with us, but will not force us to comply with the contract since now the conditions have changed.  So, what to do?

We got about ten inches of snow with winter storm Vulcan.  Many schools, colleges, the thruway and lots of business were closed due to the storm It was great to simply relax and watch Harry Potter next to a blazing fire.  Of course, I'd enjoy that in 80 degree temps too.

Steve is out at another fire tonight. This one is out on Route 20 at the West Wind Archery and Taxidermy business and it burned to the ground.  There's also a pet care business.  Fortunately, no one lives in the building and the animals were not present.  But, the story from Manhattan was much worse.  A gas leak caused an explosion that collapsed two apartment buildings on 116th in East Harlem today.  At least three are dead and twenty-seven are injured.  Justin could see and smell the smoke from his office at West 120th.

Dueling snowblowers!
