I moved from northern Minnesota to Maine 5 years ago, the winters there are brutal, with frequent and consecutive below 0 temps such as these. It hurts to smile, talk and breathe. Sometimes you'll choke on the cold, you'll stop feeling your nose in a few minutes and snotcicles will form. If you have a beard you'll get condensation frost around you nose and mouth. You can toss boiling water in the air and it will Instantly turn to fog. I love Maine winters, but will always and forever hate this depth of cold. Stay warm friend.

Those solar programs are pretty cool, and seem to save you a lot! We are pretty minimal with our power usage and would have to pay big bucks to attach to the grid. A perfect example of to each their own and the versatility of solar power :)

It's incredible the cost. Watching the community pay more, and more, and more is sad. I wish everyone had the ability to have their own solar systems. At CMP's rates it's only a matter of time before a full solar system pays for itself.

I personally run solar, cmp can take a hike.
