Either one is great to have, rather than none. That is for sure. (I have a Kohler; my brother has a Generac.)

Both you and your brother's are the 'backup' ones which kick in when power is out? Your experiences have been decent?

Yes, both are whole house backup units with automatic switchovers. Useless most of the time, but absolutely critical when needed, like all backups.

That's a lovely, inviting pic. Certainly better than I was just out to the shed to get some birdseed to spread on the deck and despite me creating some paths on the ice yesterday, it was treacherously slippery. One fall... A friend's uncle was brain dead falling on icy sidewalk! That story has put the fear of God in me! Now I walk like I am 250 year old on ice. Haha.

Yeah, after getting stuck in few inches of snow back in 2022 Feb in Greenville, I learned my lesson but still that was such a nice day, i struggled to take my Infinity out of snow for 3 hours and my ex wife was mad that I bring her to Greenville in the first place, oh man those memories specially the ones with my ex wife hit hard (crying internally).

Bro Canada is insane, my uncle who lives in Milton uploads pictures outside his house in winters and the amount of snow he had to clear is insane, y'all must have been secretly penguins at this point (no offense) haha

Haha, non taken. Polar Bears, given the hemisphere...and because they're cooler.

But southern Ontario isn't that bad, especially the Greater Toronto Area. Goes below -20C for only a handful of days out of the season. It's the prairies that come wielding. I remember days every winter season when, on those particular days, it was colder in Saskatchewan than at the North Pole.

Even for few days -20C is just unbearable for me, 2-3 back to back days with around 2-5C is enough and i am started to get bothered, I can live in hot/warm weather take multiple showers for sweat but extreme cold is hard to survive, now unless I get to leave US haha then I am willing to live in Canada cold haha

I think its like you learn something everytime you get your phone snatched, from school till university i got robbed 3 times in total and every time the method was different but i learned something from my mistakes, some rules like always walk on side of road where traffic is coming towards you hence you can't be stop from behind, 2) always take streets with barriers (Karachi), 3) if you see suspicious men on bikes, immediately try to cross the road, if you are near any shop try to enter it etc.

 

[hasssanali8998]

if you see suspicious men on bikes

brother now there are look out guys they use , almost got robed 2 days ago but luckily noticed the look out guy and started running lmao

Jaan ka Sadqa maal, never argue if you are caught, one thing to always consider if you take money out from banks, never go straight to home, go to some mall or restaurant to spend some time to see if someone is following you, lots of muqbariyan happen from banks. Lets get back to USA weather forecast before we both got robbed of our privilege to post here lol

I've been to Toronto on quite a few occasions. Oddly, mostly in the winter. I didn't find the winters there to be any more unpleasant than on my side of the lake.

Where my BK boys at??? Who did it go digging out???

New mayor, who was also a 2-time city councilman, already blaming the last guy:

Jersey City’s lefty new mayor fails to plow streets enough to open schools Tuesday

Jersey City’s lefty new Mayor James Solomon is being dragged by residents over the city’s snowplowing debacle that forced its public schools to remain closed Tuesday — but he’s shoveling the blame …

nypost.com

I'm kind of skeptical. As a councilman, he's been in on everything related to city business. So what was preventing him from pushing modernizing of snow removal efforts then?

Hamilton, Ontario back in the 1970s for a hockey tournament.

Swimming in the indoor pool, watching the snow fall outside.
