Yup, the northern area up here gets plenty of bad weather, seems like there is always an alert for somethin.
I just burn my 5 cords of wood in the winter, and have a gennerator for the other long emergencies in the winter....like the well pump needin electricity.

I'm a contractor and I have been all over New England, even had to build a house on Marthas Vineyard and Fishers Island. Grew up in Wilson, basically the north end of Hartford. Then moved out here in the 90s. Lived in Norfolk for 5 years and here the rest. I like it cause all my great freinds are here, I just get tired of the hurry up mentality.....100mph to nowhere fast.
Just watch that oldog guy....he has a warped personality ,not to mention he hangs around with some pretty weird dudes...seen em in Vegas.
Goin to the Kent steam and tractor show tommorrow and Sunday, I love all those antique machines.
