Damage In Tolland

Oh we had that to a much less severity in CT. Schools were closed 2 days in town from trees and poles down. That was that massive screamer. How strong were the winds up here?

Anyone know what storm blew down thousands of trees between Portland and Augusta? Not recent as the wood isn’t fresh. But along 295 Theres thousands of dead ones blown down. Was it that big blow a few years ago?

Torch!

I too am a migraine sufferer since 16. We’ve discussed before, but they are dehabilitating.

I have 2 a night weekdays and 3 sometimes more depending on functions weekends. Still get up to run. The secret is early bedtimes and exercise along with healthy eating . For me , going to bed early my whole life has served me well. I’m a total morning person but wilt by 8:30 PM. I know that doesn’t work for everyone, though I do believe you can train oneself to early to sleep early to rise

I’ve been to all those but tonight was first at Sebago. Had a smoking bartender which made it even better. I bought 2 cases total of beers at various breweries I stopped at. Some for me, some for friends . Came back and just did 90 minutes of work from hotel . Walked down to Marriott AC bar and there was one heffer and one dude. So I quickly circled and came back to room. Gonna call it a night. It’s been a fun, but long couple of days of driving, meetings, sales , and beers . 3 more tomorrow in Portland then home

Dude.. if I lived here.. I’d be broke, fat and liver less. The amount of good beer here is sick. This place was 2 minute walk from hotel. It’s valet only parking, so I didn’t have a choice really but to walk and eat. Cool place here

Is it just a cost thing? It just seems with the $$$ Stowe has and generates, the last place that should be using sand is them. That’s mind boggling. I recall as a kid , I grew up in Vernon on a cul de sac. My dad hated the sand they’d dump and would go out with a broom, shovel and wheelbarrow and clean up the whole thing. I guess it’s no shock why I’m so OCD. I just cannot stand the sand and grit getting inside the vehicles, on the mats, staining shoes . I shake out the mats every time I get in. I just couldn’t believe they were still using it so extensively up here. I’m in Portland now at Sebago brewing after checking into hotel and I don’t see any sand here .

I saw those towers up there. I googled and it looks like they’re about 1300’. Just driving thru there seeing the topography and East/west facing hills I could tell that’s a weenie spot

Yes. Sand is as bad if not worse environmentally than salt. There’s a reason why even 25 years ago NY state only used salt

The funny thing though when they used to use it in CT , it was red clay sand. And cars kicked it off to side I feuss and / or they’d be dumping it during storms and come along and plow it right off . I never understood that . And then there’s the whole street sweep cleanup of it in spring.

I knew it helped.l with traction. But I thought most got away from sand due to the environment issues it causes.

Yes I cover all 6 states.Have an account in Fort Kent I’ll never get to

CT stopped sand years ago. I forgot how much I hated it. It’s on every back road, every company ,every college I went to. Sand as far as eye can see

Only pack I saw was Dixmont . Would love to but heading to Goodfire Brewing now. Staying in Portland tonight

What’s with all the sand they dump everywhere here? There’s sand ground blizzards today . Face a scar pelted numerous times. I didn’t think anyone used sand anymore due to the environment. It’s everywhere

At Unity College. Came from Husson. Was on 202 west. I can guarantee Dixmont does well based on the topography and orientation . Gotta be a weenie spot

I bet the town of Dixmont , ME does well with snow. Driving thru

Torch!

What IVT?

You’ve probably seen last snowfall over 1” Was it dark at 3:00 PM when it was 57?

Why post a pic from Feb 29? Why not from today? It almost gone

Are you in Fort Kent?

Glad you don’t live there

Instead they tracked snowstorms and mocked
