Honestly, how many days of the year is the snow really deeper than 3' in your yard? If it stayed stacked up for more than 2 months, I might get concerned about diminishing returns. If it's really only stacked 3' for less than a month, I wouldn't worry about it. There's 10+ more months where the sun shines.

22.24 cents per kWh is high, but so is the cost of moving to where electricity is cheaper. My challenge is staying ahead of the ever increasing cost curve on all my expenses in life. When the highest monthly electric bill for my all electric house is $68, I've got money to devote to other things...
