    A whole 0.15 O's here yesterday. I don't know if its something to do with the panels or our roof is ever so slightly more exposed to wind, but the snow did slump down a bit so we got a trickle from the parts of the panels that saw daylight, while the neighbours were completely covered all day.

    We're buried today though, so I'm expecting nothing at all now.
    Edit: The sound of the inverter's relay clicking away in the loft suggests I spoke too soon. It's trying its best to give us something.

    Well I certainly spoke too soon. After a loud thump as a load of snow slid off the roof, and a clear sky, ended today a hair over 2 O's

    Until 11am the panels were producing nothing, covered in 30cm of snow. The bright sun caused "avalanches" and by 11.15am things were picking up. Ended up with 17.2kWh, best day of the year so far 3.28 O's

    Pretty impressive for such a late start.
