Looks like I-91 between Hartford and Springfield have the lower snow band. Weird!

Yeah is it "I enjoy pineapple on pizza" different or "I collect hollowed-out cat heads and organize them neatly onto shelves" different

The salt helps keep your nice, freshly-shoveled driveway from icing over once the snow has stopped, and helps the remainders melt more quickly in the sun. But it's not going to melt 6 inches of snow. Plus you don't want to dump it all in your yard if you can help it.
The plow trucks use it, but they're also using sand and plowing.

Thanks for the heads-up!
Just a reminder to please be kind to your neighbors — especially letter carriers, delivery drivers and healthcare workers, grocery workers, etc. We are still going to and from work in this and may be parking farther from home tonight and tomorrow morning due to parking bans. Please don’t shout at us for taking “your” on-street parking spots (this has happened to me before), and please clear your sidewalks — it’s the law, but it also helps keep us “essential workers” from busting ass on ice.

Reply to comment by jackmclrtz in Please share your experience with switching supplier from Eversource to one of the cheaper ones by jackmclrtz
This happened to me the last time when I switched from Eversource. However, a few weeks after I got the verification email, I got another email that said:
"We have received an enrollment rejection from your local utility, Eversource, for ANE- Account Not Eligible. This means that a block has been placed on your account that prevents it from switching to a supplier."
As I wrote in my other post, Eversource may have your account listed as "Financial Hardship" even if you did not ask for it. They automatically did that to a lot of people. If so, you cannot change suppliers until you ask Eversource (in writing!!!) to remove the "Financial Hardship" from your account. They have a pdf form for you to do that.

I’m just waiting for the inevitable 3/4” of snow before it all changes to rain…again.
Snowblower is ready, though, just in case. My kid really wants to build a fuckin’ snowman this year, let’s make it happen.

I was approved or accepted or whatever, but I haven’t gotten my first bill under the new supplier yet. I’m on a budget plan with Eversource for $385 per month. We will see how much that goes down.

Simsbury is mostly quiet. But that area is relatively busy compared to the rest of Simsbury.

Don’t make the mistake I made with my sidewalk in my first year as a homeowner — if you salt first, the bottom layer will thaw into a slushy mess while the snow is still falling, but then it will turn into ice, making it harder to remove even if the rest of the snow layer on top is fluffy. You want to use salt to break the crust on top of the snow to make removal easier, not create a bottom crust.

At least you got the phone call. No one in my residence got one. Maybe we don't live close enough to where this occurred.

Hopefully you have fresh gas and put gasoline stabilizer in the fuel. Otherwise you might be spending some time getting her started. Blame the awful 10% ethanol fuel for any starting issues for snowblowers, worst thing for small engines ever.

Personally I will be checking more often than end of contract. I did the change back in November and it's since gone down significantly. Someone said they check every three months or so. There are no downsides to changing suppliers (except your time to switch).

Looks like 2-4 up by the mass line, but it’s not as fun of a headline.

Use a site like TinEye to do a reverse search of the images -- if they show up elsewhere, it's probably a scam.
