Maybe every time the brake pedal is pushed, the horn sounds if there's anything sitting on the roof.

Not accepted in Mass but Mass has enough of a rec program. Out of state cards are accepted in Maine.
Maine like RI has medical reciprocity which means they accept out of state medical cards. Mass doesnāt have that in their medical program.

Just make it like the seatbelt reminder - a quiet reminder at first, then a really annoying beeping.
I legit buckle up even to shuffle cars around so I don't hear that the beep beep BEEP BEEP ^(BEEP) BEEP BEEP BEEP.
I imagine people with 15+ minute commutes or drives would quickly just clear the snow vs suffer through endless beeping.
Of course, this would cost auto makers $2 a car, so the car lobby will fight it and no politician will support it without risking big political donations. š«

This has been a challenging season for Blue Hills. Between the lack of natural snow and the mild, warm winter weather itās been difficult to attract skiers. However, itās open today and with the cold snap coming for the weekend + the natural snow predicted for early next week, conditions should be better than usual for this winter.

Got on the first train at 5:12 and didnāt get to work until 7:30. Didnāt help they literally had to standby at what feels like every single stop between Quincy Adams and Broadway. Last night the Braintree line just randomly said Quincy Center was the last stop instead of Braintree and made everyone get off. Bizarre all around in the last 24 hours.

I went last year the day after the big storm and it was so much fun for being 25 minutes away. By the looks of things it's been dirt all year and this snow won't last. Since I took up skiing 5 years ago, I thought Blue Hills would be my afternoon ski spot, but it just hasn't been snowing enough in Boston

I think at least twice, for short trips I walked from my house on Eagle Hill literally down the street to the airport to catch flights. That was key

He might be a good dude but he could have done a 30 second Google search to learn about navigable waterways and see why its not a trivial thing to maintain ie even if the boat club went away the state would still need to maintain the draw bridge unless the feds reclassified it.

No city/town adds restaurants or businesses. Restaurants/business apply for licenses and while the city/town can deny, they donāt just add them.

Reply to comment by Tobuntu in Do any dispensaries in Boston take out of state med cards? by Centegram
The selection is usually better too. I canāt smoke anything anymore but Iām allowed edibles and tinctures and stuff. Getting my medical card allowed me to get more consistent access to a better variety. I was going to places before getting my card and being told theyāre out of tinctures for recreational customers quite often.

I think car makers should put sensors in cars that prevent the horn from working if the snow isn't cleared off. Or makes the horn beep like a car alarm if the snow isn't cleared off and you are driving. But that is just me...
