the removed comment asked where - NW West Hartford. Small WF in Bishop's Corner, Huge new one up 44 in Avon, and mid-sized one in West Hartford center. All 3 are quite different TBH. (and the story of why the tiny one nearest me still exists is ridiculous - it has no right to exist with 2 much larger stores within a couple miles, but there it is - right next to a Big Y which is often more expensive for many things.

Hopefully the local ski hills get some much needed business!

I'm up in the northeast corner...we always get hammered and usually lose power. This will be wicked fun...lol
Maybe I'll actually get to use my snowblower after all.

Reply to Has anyone ever gone to Tunxis and then transfered somewhere that was UConn or another state school? What was the process like? by Strong-Purpose-113
Fucking miserable....20 years ago.
Even a decade ago...it was absolutely stupid.
Supposedly the Community Colleges and the State Colleges are all fully transferrable amongst each other now. UCONN is still twitchy because it's a completely separate corporation and not all transfer agreements are current/honored.
Talk to the departments before taking core classes elsewhere and get their signatures buying off your transfers being accepted IF you do go that route.
There's whole administration departments that handle this exact issue.

Nope its pretty easy to get most of your credits transferred. Figure out what you want to study and then pick one of the state schools that will meet your needs.

Transferred from MCC to SCSU, they took most of my credits, but reassigned some credits at MCC to different classes. Pretty easy to do.

It means that my car is shit in the snow and I'm going slower than other traffic. Deal with it.

Toothpick is great, and a bit to the west Litchfield is very cute with Arethusa, White memorial and Litchfield Distillery all worth a look

Instructions unclear. Put brights on and I'm cruising in the left lane.

Reply to Where to buy/trade a bike in CT? by eggsalami
Bikes are expensive right now. What MTB do you have? Might be worth more than you think. But also the road bike will consequently cost more than you think especially for a lightweight one. If your MTB is good spec and you're looking for a trade in the. Try Airline Cycles in East Hampton or Storrs Cycle Center. You won't get a great bike for sub $300 but they should do you alright on a trade if yours is decent or they might help you find something they're really good guys at both stores.

Eweather is the way to go. He has his own app.
He keys you in on the X factors of a storm that might lead to a boom or bust. He tells you when you better get out to shovel before it turns into concrete. Plus he seems like a nice dude.
His app is free.

There's a larger chance of someone with truck or SUV with AWD tailgating another car during snowstorm conditions then Ned closing the state

Since Whole Foods was purchased by Amazon, my perception is reduced stock, reduced service, fewer employees and same or higher prices.
Milford is a smaller store and the traffic on Rt 1 there is often crazy. A nice drive from the shoreline to glastonbury might be nicer to a larger store.

Reply to Please share your experience with switching supplier from Eversource to one of the cheaper ones by jackmclrtz
It was so ready I thought I must have done it wrong, but I did get a confirmation email saying they got my request. Then I got some documents in the (snail)mail from the new supplier. After applying I still had two months with ES as my supplier still, then on my third bill it was the new one
The funniest part is that the bill (still from Eversource as they're the distributor still) shows me how much I saved that period by not using ES as supplier lol.

Every couple of months I drive from the shoreline to Trader Joes in Orange to stock up on their Chicken Tikka Masala samosas because they're disgustingly goodf

That's good, didn't know this. I still use no sign up/termination fee when filtering.
