This isn’t even worth discussing. It’s an overnight storm and will melt the next day. People are so annoying with their snow talk.

Hi sorry I can't help with the specific request. I just want to make sure you aren't getting scammed, so many rental scams right now it's crazy. I listed a rental property a while ago and the next thing I knew, the pictures of the apartment I took were all over Facebook and Craigslist with different contact information and they were collecting deposits from sight unseen renters.

My general rule of thumb is that if the realtor/manager/owner can't provide a live video walk through I would be skeptical and require some other form of verificaiton. Hate to say it but that's the world we live in now.

If you are dealing with a realtor I'm happy to verify contact information for you in a private message.

Either way good luck with the move and I hope it all goes well. Simsbury is awesome!

In white out conditions it’s recommended to increase visibility. Also it is the law if you are traveling at a rate of speed lower than the stated MPH rate

Actually, the NWS has a bigger storm forecast for Friday into Saturday. We'll see. March could be coming in like a lion this year!

I'm not holding my breath. It's rain out in the Midwest now. It's only going to be snow because it's happening at night.

Give it til Friday to melt lol

If it's a good amount, awesome. Not counting on it though. I'm not expecting my kids school to be open tomorrow, but we'll see.

So, given the responses here, I took the plunge with "Think Energy!"

The process was seamless and it does not look like I will have to wait two weeks or anything; according to what I am seeing, it is all done. Specifically, after the last step (click the link in your email to verify...), I got a page that said my bill should be switched within 1-2 billing cycles.

Right. I'm ready to see who's driving with their hazards on on the highway tomorrow. Like, what does that signify? It's snowing? We know, we can see. Does it mean, watch out for me because I have no idea what I'm doing? I just don't get it. You don't need your hazard lights on flashing down I91. Keep them off.

This is personal preference and different from other advice you might get, but if you are able to shovel (and depending on the size of your driveway), I would keep a shovel handy and shovel every 2” or so just to make it less labor-intensive. It’s easier to push around an inch or two than to do 4-6” all at once. If it starts as sleet, I would try to shovel that off as soon as it changes to snow so it doesn’t ice over and make your life more difficult. If it starts as snow, I would shovel off the first inch or so and wait for it to finish to do the rest. Finish off with salt at the end to keep any deleterious material from freezing over. Just salting is good for an inch or so. Good luck!
