I don't know why I just noticed this, but will that one solar panel light up the house no problem?
Perhaps. As long as all the lighting is LED, that panel looks like it might be large enough to stock storage batteries that would cover the lighting for a few hours. It wouldn't do much more, though. That's not a very big panel.
Oddly, we got about the same amount of snow last night and it's still coming down hard. That's really unusual for the valley. We are a desert and rarely get any precipitation thanks to the mountains around us wriging the moisture from the clouds. Also, when we do get precipitation it generally isn't cold enough for it to fall as snow. What snow we do get seems to melt off by noon unless an inversion sets in and keeps a cold pocket of air trapped around us. For those who don't know, a cold pocket is like a hot pocket: There are lots of chunks of things floating around that you can't recognize, it's a bit soupy, and you have to heat it in an oven before it becomes hot. The nutritional value is about the same, though. With the sugar factory a few miles away, which processes sugar beets into sugar, an inversion that lasts long enough results in air so rich that you get about 50 calories/breath, along with 5% of the US RDA of beet.

Could be worse - we dodged the giant lake effect freight train currently pounding the lake shore between Erie and Buffalo. They're saying up to five feet of snow over there when it's done.

It was 44 degrees this morning at eight. The sun warmed things up to a high of 55, but it clouded over and the temp has dropped again. Wind is about 10 mph making it cooler.
Thank goodness my new apartment has good heat. I'll post some pics tomorrow if I get up in time.

The work you did so far was all about literals in the equations - getting run through your execute code so a final product could be arrived at.
You just need to support other then a literal - a reference to a field name would work. Then when you run your execute code and you come across a non-literal item, your code finds that value with whatever method works (like getting that field from a row in a dataset).
I posted a link back in that other thread to the set of "operators" and such that we supported back in my DEC PDP and VAX days. Some of the functions talked to our "data layer".
Here's a screen shot of a VAX utility for defining a database record. Code I wrote back in the 1980's. Still have some customers with VAX's that run. I'll post a series of screen shots to show you...
