We had some good winds early this morning but no winds at the moment. After the winds stopped, it rained real hard but that has pretty much stopped with the snow and more wind coming in this afternoon.
Hey at least I’m not in the dark orange zone. Haha. I’m just south of Watertown on the far left of that map.
Here, walking distance from the Mason-Dixon line, we've had a total of <1" of snow in the last 23 months. 
With my heatpump, I usually only really burn when it is below 30° and preferably below 22°. We've had a few hours of the latter so far this winter.
I'm hoping for some proper cold (and maybe snow) next week.

Last Tuesday we had a mess. I drove 150 miles through it. Windy. Tesla auto steer was really good in the wind. I could drive at my vision limits and it kept in the lane. I had a narrow gap to shoot in the worst of it and I drove 80 when it stopped raining. Wind was blowing wipers off the windshield and pulling windows away from seals a couple time. They canceled school here. A few tornado warnings.
It will get quite cold next weekend. With mid 20s mid week.

Heavy snow has started to fall.
That band moved through quick, not much of the white stuff is falling.

Overnight temp here was 10 dF. Winds are higher than usual (10 to 15 mph but gusting to 20+). Currently 20 dF.
There are still a few hummingbirds visiting my heated feeder.
I refilled the feeder this morning. Two hummingbirds met me at the garage door and started drinking from the feeder while I was carrying it out. They're used to me, but not usually *that* used to me.
Still plenty of other small birds around. They seem to do better in the cold than I would.
Well, gonna be driving today! It's her sectional wrestling tournament day! Kid is seeded 2nd in her weight class! Just a bit more and she'll earn her trip to states!
She lost a match, but was able to secure 3rd place. That’ll give her a 19-2 record for the year so far. Hopefully she’ll get to go to states. Only 1st and 2nd place is guaranteed a spot. But she’s a freshman, so there’s lots of time!

Bigtime flooding again in Camden harbor (Maine). Whole coast got hit with heavy easterly winds during an extreme high tide (new moon), made for some very high water. Very unusual for my town but happened twice this week and once last winter. Sea level rise definitely a factor here, plus winter winds coming more frequently out of the southeast.
