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. 🫠

This has been a challenging season for Blue Hills. Between the lack of natural snow and the mild, warm winter weather it’s been difficult to attract skiers. However, it’s 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 didn’t get to work until 7:30. Didn’t 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

The selection is usually better too. I can’t smoke anything anymore but I’m 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 they’re out of tinctures for recreational customers quite often.
