It's not that dusty BTW, the camera just picks it up that way.

 Yes on the heat.  Heat pumps suck in 8F-24F which is what we had for 5
days.  I even got an electric bill of 174$ (Aux heat).  The fireplace
knocked it down a lot.  Today with panels melted off I pulled 28.9 kwh
(more than we use in 24hours in winter) butfor 4 days, got none.
 The seller was accurate BTW.  He said 1/4 inch would just melt off but
at about 1 inch, it won't get much and over 1 inch, nothing.  So 12
inches, had to wait to melt off and that was today.
 Looked to me like you only got cold rain?  The breakline kept shifting
about so wasn't sure if you didn't get a little to look pretty or not.
 

The temperatures here got down into the 20's at night for a few nights but the rain had passed by then.  It was just cold but warmed up into the 40's during the day.  Today it got up to 62F.  Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 70's.

Naw, the cat is whiley enough to avoid getting close to the screen.

Most of them are smart enough to avoid that sort of thing. :)
