Just stay in the right lane?

I agree, snow tires are great, studs aren't really that important and actually kinda suck on wet roads.

state wide rent control, now

says the guy complaining about a maximum of 3 minutes of daily traffic on reddit. just try smoking a joint next time

I wish the trucks hammering their air brakes as they drive by my house were using whisper fluid. Quiet that shit right down.

Thank you!

Mt Abram currently has wknd lift tickets for only $35, and the beginner's magic carpet $10. My kids loved learning there!

I turn the thermostat down to 50 at night. Up to 60 during the day. I use a heating pad at my desk. If I’m feeling super speedy, I’ll turn it up to 62. Oil heat. Trying to make this tank last. Going to be a rough few days.

Yeah, wish I could convert over from eggs.

I have gone to Bar Harbor dozens of times, both as a family vacation and romantic getaway. It is our family's favorite place to go! One hidden and absolutely amazing waterfront hotel is the Balance Rock Inn. They are just down the cliff walk from Bar Harbor Inn, but is completely sheltered from the noise of the town.

I literally have no control over the heat in my apartment. It's an old building and we all share the same heat, set by the property manager :(

I'd agree except that it slowly gets colder days as well as nights Wednesday until Saturday morning when it'll be ~ -16 which is cold enough to cause some problems if you're not ready, then it only slowly warms up over a couple more days. That's longer than we've had the past five years or so and we're not used to it. People forget. First cold snap of the season, things go wrong. Sure, don't panic, but pay attention.

Lost Valley is a great hill to learn on, especially if it’s relatively close to you. They have a small beginner hill with a “magic carpet” lift and the main hill isn’t too intimidating. Try to go on a week day to avoid the busy weekend.

They didn't say there was anything new or strange about it. There will still be people who die, there will be some people who don't know some important cold preparation steps. Nothing wrong with sharing tips, they aren't saying the sky is falling.

The whole front side is open and people now freely smoke even though you’re charged a 250$ fine

It's this. There is literally no reason, none whatsoever, for a near universal rent increase like what we've seen outside of simple profit-taking.

If most landlords were holding variable-interest loans? Yeah ok, then I could see it. But the vast, vast majority of loans are fixed these days. There's no excuse.

As long as there is not wind or rain/snow getting in they will be completely fine.

I am not following, why does weed legalization impact that hotel?

The well casing can conduct the cold down into the well and could freeze the line at the pitless adapter. I know this because it happened to me last year and I was without water for almost a week chasing down plumbers to help. My advice is leave a faucet trickling so the pump kicks on at least once every hour. I also insulated the exposed top of my well. The snow cover should help a bit this year. If it does freeze, call someone who services wells, not a plumber. Plumbers will be so busy on emergency calls for frozen pipes and most of the ones I contacted did not have the equipment to handle a frozen well line. Some expressed no interest in taking it on either. One call to my well guy and he was out within a day and opened my lines easily. He said that the moment we lost water, if I had poured boiling water on my pitless adapter, it might have come out of it. For extra peace of mind I'll probably shovel some extra snow where the lines run and bank my well too.

EDIT: If your lines do freeze, make sure you flip the breaker to your well pump off. Otherwise, it will pump continuously trying to get water into your expansion tank. Your pressure switch, or worst case, your well pump, could burn out if you don't. My pressure switch burnt out when my lines froze and had to be replaced.

Yeah, I know. I do the same thing. I probably should have used an emoji.

When you read (free with bjs) also reads as (free with blowjobs). 😏

it’s even funnier that you think any of us want to listen to your useless drivel in their place.. go complain to the proper channels if you want something done instead of whining about it on reddit. vote someone else into their place, hell, RUN FOR SOMETHING since you’re mister idea man with all the ideas!

Absurdly wasteful and expensive?!? Turning the heat up 2-4 degrees for two days? You must be fun to know.
