Absolute zero today, owing to even more snow on the panels. It was down to minus 9.5 degrees yesterday evening. Warmed up, overnight, and despite being above freezing since daylight, there's no evidence of anything melting, although the radar's showing a band of rain heading my way.

Clear panels here, too. Started off sunny but it looks like I'm going to have to settle for medium bright for the rest of the day.
