Swapped meaning they do a winter changeover. I don’t buy new tires twice a year

When it comes to layering, that doesn't just mean pile on more cotton hoodies.

The absolute most important thing is moisture control. Cotton holds on to moisture, so having cotton on, especially right against your skin, means your sweat clings to your body and cools you off. Wool and synthetics will wick the moisture away and let it escape out of the gaps in your top layer.

Investing in proper winter base layers will go a LONG way to improving comfort in the cold!

Ugh.. mine too. I suppose I should get at that tonight!!

Even setting 5 or 10 degrees higher than normal is a good idea. You don't have to crank it way up. Grew up the same. Live the same now.

All-seasons are great for everything except steep hills that ice over and active blizzard conditions. Anybody who needs winter tips probably doesn't need studs.

Test the ice when you get there.

Im 6'2" and weigh 160 lbs soaking wet (AKA: tall and skinny).It's the wind blowing against the legs that gets me. I typically wear long johns from mid-October to mid-April.

As someone else mentioned, wool is your best friend.

holy sh&t this is what I"m using o_O

>I still get my winter tires swapped every year (free with bjs)

Damn. That's a high price. I'd rather pay the $90.

I see you are getting downvoted. I work at a mountain. I have done both and I am decent enough to get down blacks and some double blacks on both. Here is my recommendation when people ask me. If you have time to dedicate to learning snowboarding is a blast, super fun and once to get the hang of it easier to do tricks, and extend your ability. If you going once a year, and just want to enjoy your day going up and down the bunny slope, skiing is where you should be.

Interesting, I can’t quite tell if they’re home builders or just do renovations? Seems like an interesting type of company.

Watch the forecast and wait for a clear day after a snowy day or night.buy ur tix for everything ahead of time. Full day or half day. Pull her out of school for the day

Atlantic Oceanside sucks now that weed is legal

have you wrote to your: • Town Manager • Town Council • State Rep • State Senator • Local Highway Department • Maine DOT

any of those might get you further than complaining into the void on reddit to people that couldn’t possibly care less

Everybody needs to fucking relax. It's only going to be really cold for a couple of days. It's not like we're in it for 2 or 3 weeks like the old days. There's good advice here but don't panic. It's going to be warm again on Monday.

Just like driving in the first snow, the first cold snap takes everyone by surprise. We get out of practice and it helps even the experienced to be reminded of all the big and little things that can affect us in the next few days.

This is the correct answer. Studded tires won't save you from yourself if you don't know how your car reacts to the conditions. If you don't know how to drive in the snow and ice, practice practice practice. If you have one, ask your local friend to take you to a parking lot when it's snowy and icy and have them teach you like they were taught. It's the way.

You can get winter tires and I love having them but you mostly don't need studded.

Oh dear. I'll have to put down pee pads for my little dogs. They don't like the cold.

And set up and electric blanket for the cats.

Yes, they are all spoiled and they know it.

Thank you!

This is tough since you don't know the house yet and don't know how high the heat needs to be in just normal conditions. If it were me, yes, I'd camp out to monitor the situation, maybe others wouldn't. If you opt not to, I'd go check the house at least a couple times a day, in the early am and at night. Take normal precautions, open cabinets to plumbing on exterior walls, dripping taps, flush toilets, make sure windows are locked & exterior doors closed properly, do what you need to do to keep the whole house warm, and go around and check things often.

edit: I'd leave interior doors open between rooms so heat circulates throughout. Once you've lived there a while you'll get a feel if you can close some rooms off or not.

Haha thats crazy. I’m glad where I’m going it wont be -52. I don’t know how it’s possible we survive these types of weather but people do!

Leave you cold water running slowly when we are at -20 if your house isn't well insulated.

Beats burst pipes

Watch out for frostbite on their combs, and if they get it, treat the area with antibiotic ointment. Chickens are pretty hardy, but nonetheless I have a heat lamp on a timer that I run on the coldest nights for them. They seem to appreciate it. During last year's cold snap I checked on them frequently and they did fine. I do feed them extra high protein snacks and meat scraps during times like this because it takes calories to stay warm!
