It's not often you see a 100 degrees difference in temps on a map.
But from +63 to -40 is on this map around 9 pm EST. Canadians in Quebec and Ontario may think us Yanks are a bunch of whooses. All across these 2 provinces last night, they had temps of lower than -25, down to -40 ... and will again tonight. |

Snow is almost done here. I just cleaned off the car. I'm all proud of myself. It would have been one inch of pretty solid ice in the morning, coating the whole car. It took a minute or two just now, and would have been a huge job in the morning. I remembered!

13° here last night. That's pretty damn chilly for my neck o' the woods. Warming all the way to Tuesday or Wednesday [ETA: Moved up to Monday, now] when our hi/lo is forecast as 8°/4°. The previous day to those numbers will be 45°.

8" Heavy, fine powder. With a nice layer of slush at the bottom so it sticks to your shovel. What fun.

The cost and transporting electricity is typically between $20 and $40 per megawatt hour. To put that into perspective, you might pay 13 cents per kilowatt hour or $130 per megawatt hour retail. These costs mean utilities make a small and consistent profit.
However utilities buy electricity on the spot market. Sometimes demand and other factors cause their purchase prices to increase. I rarely see costs this high. For example, instead of paying maybe $30 on the spot market, the cost of electricity in Wellsboro PA is currently $283.90 per megawatt hour. Other prices are $310 in Vineland NJ, $376 in Chalk Point MD, and $309 on an undersea connection from New Jersey to Long Island. $478 in Quakertown PA. Average Chicago price is about $144. Ohio about $195. $326 in the Richmond VA area. $310 in the Lexington KY area. Ironically, where electricity is produced and transmission facilities are restricted, prices are significantly lower such as $30 in Mount Storm MD near the West Virginia border. Do so many consumers in this day and age still use electricity for heat? |

All heat pump users use electricity "emergency heat" when the outdoor air is too cold to exchange heat, or the outdoor unit is under a foot of snow and won't operate normally.

My early experiences with heat pumps went to to 'emergency heat' when outside air was below 40 degrees (5 degrees C). At what temperature do today's heat pumps switch over?

That is just so fucked up. I'd pay the fine. I guess I'd have to, here, you don't pay a fine, they take your license. But, there'd be cop cars showing up with missing windows for months, if not years.
You have any idea how far away you can be and still break windows with the right pellet rifle?
