Just getting groceries so that can still be done

Be sure to tell the dealer you are new to heating with wood, he will make sure you get the very best, extra heavy wood.

I do a modified top down in my fireplace - two big logs on the bottom and then start the fire on top of that.

I usually go to the dump transfer station but it will be closed due to weather.

I worry about the homeless population. People camping out or sleeping in cars. I know there are warming shelters in Burlington and Rutland, and maybe in Brattleboro. A lot more are needed. If a church is not opening their doors on a sub-zero night for those who need it, what are they even doing? Let people sleep on the pews, get a couple of volunteers to stay awake overnight.

Indeed. It's just a simple PSA.

"cities" - your elsewhere is showing

The state does need people to move here but it needs people to move here and work here. It’s going to be a problem a few years from now we’re all of these people who moved here as coronavirus refugees or full remote jobs decide to leave because they can’t get their kids in daycare, restaurants are barely open, they aren’t getting their mail etc, can’t find anybody to work on their house. He won’t realize that they created the problem by taking up housing without filling a useful position.

I know home prices are fucked everywhere but our property taxes are quite high and what you get for the money here ain’t great.

This state has a severe lack of blue collar workers right now, skilled trades people and service industry workers are needed.

Combined with the excessive property taxes and buying a home in this state right now is a great way to stay poor.

I’m going to sound like an old man but I’ve noticed that the younger generations don’t know how to ask questions, makes me wonder if it’s not being taught in school or by their parents. I routinely have to coax information out of people because they’ll ask about a third of a question and do not understand why the details are important. Seems like a combination of assuming people know what’s going on in their head and either not knowing how to formulate a question or being too lazy to do so.

All good advice, especially the part about checking on your neighbors. But let's be honest, if you haven't gotten your wood dried out by now...

That’s wind chill numbers. Not actual. Although it will be cold as tits out.

Yes!!!! That’s it ! Went to college at landmark.

That’s awesome.

Yap, I know what's wrong wit it... it ain't got no gas. \s

NSS.

Kingdom folks: "it's just another weekend". Seriously it's NEK Vermont... Some -40 wind-chill for a day or two is cold but not brace yourself for end times cold. It's not Texas or the Champlain valley. We're good.

What is this?

I didn’t include Barre because OP was looking for livable places. JK

You're thinking of J D McCliments, now closed. Enjoyed it greatly when we lived in Putney.

Enjoy your locked %6.45 mortgage rate and record high property prices.
