Reply to comment by DidDunMegasploded in Bill would up the fines for not clearing snow and ice off your car by WillWriteForFood2
If only my dash cam could issue citations….
But really, you don’t have to catch all the violations, just enough that people start to notice and react by clearing the snow. Or stopping at red lights. Or removing illegal lights. It’s a long list of things we want stopped but the cops are unwilling to both about.

From your link, "The general issue plate is the basic design for any plate. They are issued in a variety of classifications: Antique Auto, Bus, Combination, Commercial, Commercial Tractor, Disability, Disability Motor Home, Farm, Hire, Horseless Carriage, Motor Home, Special Equipment and Street Rod."
Chickadee is general issue.

Watch "Blow the Man Down", to get a feel for the area (and the locals?), then try to hit as many filming locations as you can..giant staircase, cribstone bridge, and the restaurant on the other side is there, for instance.. great movie too!

Well it's about fucking time. Now we have to see if it'll actually be enforced this time around.
> Past proposals to outlaw driving with snow- or ice-covered vehicles have failed in recent years, largely because of [...] ambiguous language that police said would make it difficult to enforce.
I'm curious as to what that "ambiguous language" was, though. Is this just cops saying "nah, I don't wanna" or is there more to this? I don't think it would be hard to pull people over in cars and then fine them appropriately because you noticed they had huge chunks of snow and ice on their roof. Maybe it has something to do with disabled people not being able to clean their cars and police fining them for something out of their control? I dunno.
Either way...two words: snow rake. Best investment you could possibly make as a Mainer. Good for short fat people like me, good for tall folks like...well, like a lot of ya. It's better than using a regular snow shovel or your own bare hands, lol.
Two more words: time management. Learn it, use it. Haul your butt outside early to clear snow off your car before you go to work instead of running late and then leaving snow and ice on your car for other people to deal with. It's really not hard to do for most people, especially if you have a snow rake as I mentioned above.

It is very much accurate. But I guess that depends on if you live in Southern Maine or the rest Maine. If you're exclusively in Southern Maine then yeah you'd think it's not accurate. But the rest of Maine? It's very accurate

Mt. Agamenticus has hiking trails to the top, but also a road and parking at the top.
It's in Ogunquit, maybe 35 minutes south of where you'll be.

Reply to Heating relief payments by kolzzz
Social worker here, I work with folks on Mainecare, and many of my clients are non-filers. Unfortunately, there is no way for a non-filer at this point to become eligible for the $450 heating checks.
Maine’s Revenue Services has the following requirement listed on the payment status checking page: “You filed a 2021 Maine income tax return no later than October 31, 2022 as a full-year resident”. This was the same requirement for the $850 pandemic relief funds from 2022, so if they received the $850, they will also get the $450 automatically.
Short of calling Maine Revenue Services and maybe being able to be granted an exemption due to extenuating circumstances, filing at this point will not make someone eligible.

I wear a cotton canvas anorak with wool layers underneath. Works great, but no good once it gets 20f or above due to the limitations of cotton.

This is an old post, but if you're still looking consider the overlook in eagle lake. It is pet friendly. Also maybe eagle lake inn.
