I moved from Central NY to Connecticut about 15 years ago. If we get 6 inches it’s a disaster. I say to myself you don’t know what snow is.

Having lived SE of lake Ontario myself, two feet of fluffy LE snow has very little water content and doesn't compare to two feet of snow down here at the coast where I live now.

No, but with a little site selection and planning, you can build a "solar heated house"...no solar panels involved.

A properly oriented, well insulated building with an attached greenhouse/sunroom and an "air chimney" should heat and cool nicely, with little or no energy costs.

It's a carpenter thing...not a subsidized high-tech enviro-whacko thing.

Anything will work if you dump enough time and money Ingo it, and keep dumping money into it, and keep dumping no.ey into it.
Pathetic leftist idiots and the spineless repulsive republicans who allow this garbage.

And they’d work even better if they didn’t get buried in snow all winter.

Solar power is not a wise investment of money in CNY.

Good one; forced buy back by utilities stinks. Government subsidy of the home owner and the industry stinks.
