I got my back up ViaSat up and running this am, as Starlink was down again! But so easy, AND it takes a lot less power than Starlink, for those of you off grid types with their own solar systems.

  • Kate,

    When I click on your link under 2023-2024 EL NIÑO & ROAD CONDITIONS on "FHL Map" I am sent to another site. You may want to check it from your end.

    Thank you for your amazing blog and your informative and helpful links.

    • Okay, link no longer accurate. I’ll see if I can find a new link for that map, but it was hard to find in the first place, so I may just have to delete it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

  • As for Starling power usage, I turn off the Snow Melt option in settings as soon as potential snow fall has passed. When Snow Melt is in PreHeat or Automatic, it sucks down the electrons like a toaster oven.
