With all of the snow we just had... this is a friendly reminder
A furnace exhaust pipe covered in snow is a serious concern as it can significantly impede the proper venting of exhaust gases, potentially leading to a buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide inside your home due to the blocked airflow; this can cause the furnace to shut off as a safety measure and should be cleared immediately to ensure proper ventilation.
Key points about a snow-covered furnace exhaust pipe:
Carbon monoxide risk:
The most significant danger is the potential for carbon monoxide buildup in your home, a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly if not properly ventilated.
Furnace malfunction:
A blocked exhaust pipe can cause your furnace to shut down due to safety mechanisms designed to prevent carbon monoxide accumulation.
Reduced heating efficiency:
Even if the furnace continues to operate, a partially blocked exhaust can reduce its heating efficiency.
What to do:
Clear the snow:
Carefully remove snow buildup from around the exhaust pipe using a shovel or snow brush.
Check for other obstructions:
Ensure there are no other blockages like ice, debris, or nesting materials around the vent opening.

Did you know that it's been nearly a century since New York State was in the path of a total eclipse? On April 8, 2024, much of our state will be in the path of totality. But exactly does that mean?

When we say "path of totality," we are talking about the area where people will be able to see the moon completely block the sun while it passes directly between Earth and the sun. Areas in the path of totality will experience several minutes of darkness.

As you can see here, a good portion of New York State is in the path of totality, but don't worry—even if you're not, you will still be able to see a partial eclipse (weather permitting). Areas within the blue lines will get about 95% totality, within the white lines, about 90%, and about 85% within the yellow lines.

Head to I LOVE NEW YORK’s Eclipse page for events, safety info, family activities, and educator resources! 👉 iloveny.com/eclipse.

Also, be sure to check out https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5123 for larger maps of the path of totality across the entire United States.
