Appreciate the advice. I change the filter every month on the 21st and clean the coil each March. We have really drafty early 70s windows.

Might get my refrigerant checked.

Lol I dig holes for a living. We have to clear the ground for gound covering to keep damage to a minimum. Every little bit of snow in the middle of my work space makes that job hard either later when trying to pull all our stuff back out due to it melting and making it a mud pit. Or refrezzeing to all my boards. Or right off the bat. Ever had to wade thru feet of snow.? It doesn't crush and compact nice. So it would seem prudent to reduce its impact as much as possible. Usually I use a large 72 inch snowblower for the heavy lifting but we clear all the way down to the grass and then even further using paddle brooms to brush as much away as possible and usually finishes with a little hand shoveling. When done it looks like a fall lawn. Once that has been done our gound coverings can be placed. Sometimes wood sheets but usually a uhmw panel ....

I don't like the idea of having to deal with the snow just because your a little warm. Move.
