Reply to If someone in ct won a big amount on lottery, after they claim it and taxes are taken out at the lottery office, when tax time comes are you responsible to pay any more taxes on that winning? by Independent-Reach339
Please get a CPA. If you won enough that you have to go claim it at the lotto office, call a real CPA

Locals tip: Absolutely make sure you use the bathroom at the base lodge while you are there. Trust me on this one.

I'm not getting my hopes up but I know if I don't pull out the snowblower today, we'll end up with 2 feet. If I do, it'll be rain.

We're getting ready to move and the snowblower is buried behind a bunch of furniture we stored there for staging our current house...at least the shovel is accessible?
And another storm later this week, wooo

Snowbasin! I will keep it in mind.

Like is so funny they get proven wrong and instead of admitting it they double down and leave all you have to do is admit your wrong and was proven wrong but you wrong because that means your believes are not correct

interesting, AccuWeather has Enfield at 4-8 inches, WeHa at 3-6 and Cromwell at 2-4.

I miss it terribly, but due to many injuries, my ski bum days are over. Now I kayak/ice fish instead, and I'm much more upset about the lack of lake ice this winter. I work per diem as a snow shoveler and I haven't had to do it yet this year, so that's been nice. This storm will be the wet snow that sucks to shovel.

Schools will most likely all be closed due to the fact this will be the first snow day for most. If there had already been some they'd probably just wait and maybe delay, but at this point will probably just call it early.

I grew up close enough to Snowbasin to see the lift towers from my back yard. My buddy and I used to hike up there every Saturday and ski the Strawberry side for free. They didn't check tickets over on that side because you had to ride a lift to get there. Tickets were only about $15 back then, so we would recycle cans and secretly save lunch money to occasionally buy a ticket and ski the rest of the mountain. Easily the most underrated resort out there.

I went solar in 2015. Purchased outright. I cannot think of a benefit to leasing.

Got a quote from Sunrun for a lease in 2021 that had an associated $61k cash value. Total ripoff— Tesla quoted way less, maybe under $30k including a Powerwall.
Sunrun isn’t the way to go if you’re paying cash or financing.

Be out there in the mess yelling “i told you so” at my wife who was making fun of me for charging up my new snowthrower last night.

I’m trying to have a polite political argument but instead you won’t I’ve proven you wrong multiple times so you leave instead of admitting your wrong lmao then you say I justify kids dying. Jesus it’s funny how when someone gets proven wrong they break down

This time of year there is more daylight and it is warmer. You don't have to work as hard because it will melt faster. Snow in December isn't going anywhere

Reply to Please share your experience with switching supplier from Eversource to one of the cheaper ones by jackmclrtz
Took 3 billing cycles to go into effect, otherwise pretty painless

Depends on their interests. I remember it being pretty boring being a teen in the Hartford area. That’s a tough age gap in some ways - about the same as my sibling and I. It’s like one is too old and the other is too young, and it’s hard to find things that would be interesting to both.
We have some cool outdoor places to explore. The rail trail along the CT River is fun. If they’re into hiking, look at some the land trusts in the region.
You could drive or take a train to New Haven. Walk around Yale campus, walk through the free museum, grab some food, check out some stores. Go to Edgerton Park, check out the free greenhouses. The older brother might like Strangeways. New Haven feels more like a city and I loved that stuff as a kid.
Alternately, head north to Basketball Hall of Fame, or maybe check out Northampton, Easthampton, Amherst.
Or check out Mystic Aquarium.

Go to energizect.com and click on "Supplier Rate FInder"
This will show you all of the alternative and their rates, lock-in periods, and REC percentage.
I chose Think Energy, and it was as simple as clicking the Enroll link, and filling out a form. I had to look closely at my bill to find some of the thinks they needed like billing cycle and name key, but it took all of 5 minutes.
