It’s not trolling, I did not grow up around snow so I don’t know. Thanks for all the help!

This answer was through and pretty great ^

It can snow as early as October and as late as May. Or it can not snow at all. There's really not a set pattern.

Snow tires are better than all season tires but it depends on whether you're going to be driving much on unplowed roads during the storm. If you have the ability to limit driving during the active storm and immediate aftermath, snow tires might be overkill.

Salting a driveway is a waste. Having icemelt is good if you don't clear it completely and it freezes over or something.

How do you pay that?

Maybe this is just trolling.

If not:

Snow can happen anytime from about December 1st through May 1st, typically with melting in between. Dates and accumulation can vary widely year to year. A dusting to 3” is fairly common. Three feet happens very rarely but can happen.

Don’t put salt on your driveway, it’s hard on your pup’s paws and kills plants.

Snow tires are much safer. Not everyone can afford them.

Shovel out your dryer vent, your oil fill pipe, your mail box, and a path for your meter (if it’s not automated).

Never sit in your car with the engine on and windows up in snow if your exhaust pipe is not shoveled out.

Best to shovel snow before it freezes. You will shovel your driveway then a plow will come along and create a barrier. You get to shovel that too. There are times when shoveling is a waste of time because it will melt soon.

Get a scraper to get ice off your car window. If your car is not garaged, flip your windshield wipers up in the air when snow/ice are in the forecast (or all the time), that will prevent them from getting frozen in place.

It’s dangerous and illegal to drive around with snow/ice on the roof, hood, trunk of your car.

Give snow plows plenty of space.

Have a power outage kit with a battery radio, some candles and matches, etc. you can find a full list online. If the power has been out for a days, and you can afford it, just go check-in to a hotel.

Have some lock de-icer available.

Get some high-quality hot chocolate, (maybe chocolate liqueur, peppermint schnapps, or coffee liqueur to add to it), Netflix, a cozy blanket, Heat Trapper socks, Yak Trax, water-proof boots, thermal-lined gloves, and a sled.

Find a winter sport you love.

Take some photos.

Don’t eat dirty snow. Melt some in a glass, you’ll see why.

When you drive, leave more space between you and the car in front of you. Don’t freak out. You’ll be ok. Don’t be the fastest car on the road nor the slowest. Side roads tend to be slipperier than highways. Bridges freeze first. Black ice is no joke but it’s rare. You really can’t do a whole lot to avoid it except stay home if possible if the weather forecasters are predicting it. Use your brakes a little less. The accelerator (gently) can help grip the road.

Find yourself a scarf, hat, stones, carrot and sticks and make a snow man, catch a snowflake in your mouth, have a snow ball fight, make snow angels. Find a sleigh ride. Look on line for photos of individual snow flakes (close-up), each one is unique.

Keep kitty litter in your trunk. You can use that for traction if you get stuck.

Go easy on shoveling. A lot more heart attacks during snow storms from over-exertion.

Ask around where the best sledding hill is and go. Doesn’t matter what age you are. This is a must.

Welcome to winter. Real winter.

Actually snow is more likely to come Jan/Feb. We still get some in MArch and are known to have surprise snow too.

You prob dont need to salt your drive way.

Clear it good and the a bit of sun will bring it down to asphalt. Trick is, clear it well so ice doesn't form.

Salt and sand are good for a walkway. Pay attention to what your walkways are and the salt you get as some damages concrete.

But salt is at any hardware store.

Winter tires aren't usually needed. What do you drive for a vehicle?

Excise tax homie

Yes

That's what I figured, probably have to just go to the dmv.

Trustworthy used car salespeople are rare.

I worked in the industry for 2 years for a company other than Newport Solar. Go Newport Solar.

I usually buy falkens - good tires but I get good prices on them

Note that the message said "...blocks other than Municipal/City Property Tax Block." So, it seems like it is a block not from your town and you definitely need to ask the DMV for more details as to who put the block on your renewal.

Is your inspection good?

Where ever you go from dealer to 2nd/3rd hand dealer bring a certified mechanic or someone who knows about cars.

1. Check the DMV website: walk-ins welcome?

2. Walk into the town hall & Get proof you owe no taxes.

3. Walk the proof over to the DMV.

I think about Benny's often. Miss the shit out of them.

You might have to just call the DMV. I'd maybe try just sending the info via the contact us form on the website so see if they can answer before sitting on hold though.

I just went to melvins and selected what I needed online ahead of time and paid just under $400. But I got the deal on tires online but wouldn't have in person.

😭

I cross shop every time and every time tirerack.com has been the cheapest.

Also I hope you mean cheapest for a specific tire model, not cheapest brand. Plenty of people here have said it already, but tires are arguably the most important part of your car. This is NOT the place to be cheap.

Benny's.

Oh...
