How much do you value your car and the lives within it? How about the lives of others on the road? Look, if you're on all seasons and haven't had time to warm up to driving in winter conditions recently, I wouldn't tempt fate. Lots of people are in here saying "there's no snow right now," but this is New England, our winter could very well become more severe in the time between now and then. As for "as long as there's no hills," this is Vermont, even Burlington has hills that will make an unprepared civic embarrass itself w/out traction. Truth is, the cheapest set of road rumbling winters will be better than the most expensive all seasons, I'd buy some or rent a vehicle with winters preinstalled.

That's the way the new car came. As others have said, this a problem with new cars.

And I don't have the spare 100 or so bucks lying around to get them adjusted, I apologize.

Working in the sciences, my biggest critique about scientists, as a whole, is that they rely too much on professional jargon. It creates a barrier between the author/researcher and the audience. If the author of this article is writing this for other professional, social science, academics, than fine. But, don’t expect a lot of traction with a mainstream audience, of any color or race.

It makes me cringe when people literally think that their interpretation of what makes food, or a restaurant, or really anything completely subjective is somehow superior to someone else’s. How about you just say that you find it sub-par? Unless of course you are the world’s foremost restaurant critic. Actually, even then…. save it.

Waterworks - where we have a waterfall so people think we’re a really good restaurant.

Recently acquired title of “restaurant everyone thinks is fancy but really isn’t” from Sweetwaters.

Literally makes me cringe seeing people trip over one another to talk about how amazing and unique waterworks is.

I’m not in Fairlee and not an ice/skating conditions expert but I checked Weather Underground for Fairlee 10 day forecast and night for the next 10 days straight are in the 20s so that puts things in your favor. You could also try calling the Lake Morey resort.
