There are some spots near or over 900 feet and they always clean up in marginal events. . Meh, I'd look into eastern CT. Much lower cost of living and he'd cleanup in Miller Bs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I mean I'm assuming there are many other factors besides being in a weenie snow spot lol. That's probably why Weather-X suggested a place like Ridgefield. That would keep him relatively close to the city but I have no idea if that matters to him or not. Woodstock sounds good but Idk how out in the sticks he's willing to be...if he's restricted to CT and he doesn't mind being in a rural area which I'm thinking as a police officer probably isn't too bad of a gig, then that would be a great spot. If he wants to be in a city and weenie out and he can expand to anywhere in SNE then I would pick Worcester hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Breakers have been tripping all over the house all day for no reason. Finally realized my sump pump has been running continuously for god know how long. Open the pit, pump was smoking and the whole bit. Good thing it’s a trip safe system, so we have two additional pumps, but can’t imagine replacing the bottom, main pump, is going to be cheap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sure, I was just thinking about a good spot in FFLD county. He might want the proximity to get back home for Sunday dinner quickly and he won't be able to do that if he lives in Windham or is neighbors with Ginxy lol.

Breweries are packed every weekend and many times during the week. The good ones are doing extremely well. I just googled and I see the ones that closed. They were struggling with bad beers prior to the pandemic. Just like in any industry, the good ones survive and shine and the bad ones sink and fade away.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I feel like the craft brewing industry is like any other niche industry. It gained popularity and the number of operations exploded well beyond what was probably necessary. Reminds me a lot of the frozen yogurt kick around 2011-2012. Tons of those places opened up when it became an “it” thing and then the craziness died down, and many of those places didn’t make it. The good breweries will survive, but when everybody and their brother opens a brewery, some are going to fail. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Wife & I were awoken this morning at 3:05a and sat right up in bed from what I can only describe as a loud bang. After searching house and finding nothing, I fully expected to find a tree on my house this morning. Thankfully, nothing. Best I can figure is an ice quake. No obvious sources of sound around neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Tree House borrowed 10 mill from the bank when they opened and business was so robust they paid it off in two years, Place is still packed so I don't think they're in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Long Live there in PVD , Proclamation is solid and Tilted Barn is just ridiculously good . Those types of places are thriving and will keep growing.

NorEastermass128 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 A friendly reminder to get the layer of ice off your car roof. I saw three cars with smashed windshields between here and Route 62 on 128 S. Then I was hit by a sheet of ice from an SUV merging on the highway. Smashed onto my front end and hood, but luckily no damage I can see. Don’t be that idiot. Thanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice flying off the 18 wheelers is the worst, I remember reading about someone that got killed because the ice flew off the truck and into a car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
