The vast majority of households have 2 working parents nowadays so it’s more challenging for most people to coordinate last-minute childcare. So when we have a storm like this where it could end up being worse than anticipated, it’s best to make the call early. I guess in this case they determined the worst case scenario storm would still be fine for getting kids to school.

Savers has really nice sweaters for $5 or $10. Guaranteed that two sweaters and a blanket will prevent your fingernails from turning blue.

National Grid and eversource work with energy suppliers who set the rates. They fluctuate constantly, hence why your bill also goes up and down.

You can reach out to National Grid, and I forget exactly what it’s called, but you can pay exactly what your payed last year for each month. Anything that you owe, or they owe you, you’ll settle up at the end of the year.

I ran the numbers and it was cheaper way back to live in the city than to commute, the cost of the car, and the lost time in the car at your hourly rate.

If you sold the car, moved to the city, or onto the rail line, a station is opening up in New Bedford and providence is a lot cheaper than boston and you can take the mbta pretty cheap or Amtrak and get a seat. Sometimes work will pay for the pass.
