Have you looked into wood or pellet? Wood heat is amazing, but stacking and lugging the wood can be a lot. Pellets are great as well, heats well, cost effective, less maintenance, and you don't have to stack and lug it around the same as you do wood.

I don't even fully agree with abortion (I would never get one myself, but i do not judge others' choices), but this is absolutely disgusting and in no way a good comparison.

There is no need to downvote me and be upset about it. Everyone has different preferences and likes. I personally don't really care if our flag stands out from others. I like the blue, and I like the design of the seal, so it being our flag doesn't bother me at all. Also, as long as the print of the flag wasn't tiny, I could pick ours out because I know what the design is. Lol Again, to each their own. I'm not hating that you like the old one more, just simply stating that I like the current one just fine.

This isn't even just for vape juice. Menthol cigarettes won't be legal. Flavored tobacco leaves won't be legal, anything that has any type of flavor what so ever that is a tobacco product. Bangor already banned it. I don't smoke or vape anymore, but I think it's ridiculous. Like mist of you pointed out, people will just switch to regular cigarettes or ordering from 3rd party websites. People will always find a way to do it, legal or not.

I answered OP's question and commented multiple times to help them. Also, if you read through, they HAVE been through a winter and seen snow, just not this cold. Also, yes, it is possible for it to get so cold someone's eye could freeze its just not going to be as likely for it to get that cold in Southern Maine.

OP, you're completely fine, I'm talking in generally because I've seen quite a few posts and comments of other people moving here from warm states and have absolutely no idea what to expect. But, anyone can get some info from Google and then ask other things they may be missing. You've gotten a lot of good feedback in here, and I hope it's been helpful to help you have a warmer, safer winter.

But you can still get basic ideas from online and then ask peoples experiences. I'm saying people come on and ask with absolutely no knowledge what so ever, like OP didn't even know wet hair could freeze. I didn't comment to be judgemental, read through the rest of the comments... however, some people do need to just take some time and research BEFORE making a huge life changing move, not after once winters already here. OP also has absolutely no stuff for a winter, which they could have been mildly prepared for if they researched and reached out before hand not last minute once we already had a huge storm.

That's why I said it really depends on the person. Multiple sicks, 1 sock, good socks, or not, my feet personally just can't stay warm in them. Mine barely stays warm in highly rated insulated winter boots. I just wanted it to be known that what works for one doesn't always work for everyone. It also depends on what you're doing in the shoes, when your up working and walking around your feet will stay warmer no matter what shoe vs. Just going grocery shopping for 20 minutes

I think the boot suggestion really depends on the person. I have traditional snow boots that are good quality that keep my feet warm and dry, muck style boots, and my feet would freeze to death because they don't have the same insulation. Muck boots to me are more for wet conditions. Maybe if you have to go shovel real quick but not for long-term outside activities. Again, it really depends on the person. I have a really hard time keeping my feet warm in the winter, so super insulated boots are all I can do.

Where are you from? Lol, pretty much anything that's wet can freeze when temperatures get below 32°f If you don't have warm cloths and winter items, you definitely need to go get them because it does get cold. Snow and ice will depend on where in the state you live, and you can keep an eye on the weather forecast to prepare for storms. I suppose some other valid info would be not to let your home get too cold. If heat isn't run, your pipes can and will freeze, causing a bunch of issues with your water. Fun fact, if your nose is runny or your eye lashes are wet from crying or something, it can freeze just like your wet hair, lol The cold does get cold enough that it can hurt your face too. Gloves and a winter hat are a lofe saver. Don't try and clean snow off your car or shovel a walk way without them. I'll also repeat to be careful when driving. If you aren't comfortable driving in snowy, wet, icey conditions, then don't do it. Black ice can be very dangerous because you can't see it on the roads. If you have any specific questions, let me know. Stay warm and stay safe

No hate to you moving here, but it blows my mind how many people posts asking how to, "deal," with winger because they just moved here and don't know what to expect. Google and research before you move. Look up average Temps the last few years for your area so you have an understanding of what to expect cold wise. Make sure you have a snow brush for your car if you drive. A shovel, salt for walkways is a plus as well, and then most importantly just have warm clothes. A sweatshirt and sneakers aren't going to keep you comfortable when it's 10°f out. Winter boots and a winter jacket at least, and hats and gloves as well. Also, if you aren't used to driving in the snow, don't risk getting into an accident if you don't have the confidence to go out in a storm. If you do NEED to go out, take is slow. Let the ass holes in their lifted Ford trucks speed by you, and you just keep on your way lol

I love this! My husband and I started our first garden this year, and we hunt as well. It's a great feeling growing and hunting for your food and being self-sufficient. We rent right now (we're young), but I can't wait until we have our own property! Such beautiful pictures

I get trying to get a lesser charge because fines and jail time suck, but at the end of the day people do need to just take the punishment they get because they made the choice that put them in that position. I don't know if I could in good conscience plead not guilty to something like that because even though it was fine this time, could take a life if it happened again. I can still see police not doing there part making it possible to not be charged but still.

If you're driving while drunk, that's where you fucked up.... not taking responsible for it. Driving under the influence can kill yourself or innocent people. There's no excuse for it and getting off with no charges is messed up. If someone doesn't want the consequences then they shouldn't have driven a vehicle drunk end of story 🤷‍♀️

I personally hate Shaws, I feel like everything is over priced. With that said, hannaford also sucks depending on location. Hampden and Bucksport hannaford are both a decent amount more then Brewer hannaford. So I would compare the two stores in your area for a better idea.
