  • If im feeling very charitable and it’s unclear whether the question is honest they get one answer/reply to show it.

    If they’re clearly baiting/trolling/negative then block is great because I’ll never meet them in real life and they’re not here to engage critically.

    If they show thoughtful criticism then it’s just a matter of whether i have the interest or energy to reply, which i often don’t. If i do I’ll engage as long as they seem thoughtful. The second i sense my mood faltering I’m closing the app. I can’t have any more days ruined by random people on the internet. I’ll most likely forget to reply after that.
















  • This.

    DO NIT WALK/COMPACT YOUR REGULAR PATHS BEFORE SHOVELLING! SHOVEL THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

    If you have compacted snow you will have to stab it top down with a round end steel shovel crcking apart 10cm(4") sections the whole way.

    Spent the better part of last winter fixing the mistake i made in my first week of snow. (125m long path).

    If you have wood oven heating then keep your wood stock close to home. My shed is 30m away and it gets real old hauling across every few days. I also use a plastic bin to carry it now. A lot easier than a wheelbarrow as you can walk right into your house and to your inside wood shelf.

    Boot chains are really great, not the spikes, chains. Especially if you have a dog that gets excited and pulls.

    If you have a long driveway consider a plowing service, your local farmer will probably do it cheaper(than you think) than a commercial service if you’re rural.

    Stock up on food/water.

    Otherwise there’s not much to it.

    Freezing cold is +3C/-6C, then -18C and below. The -6C/-18C range is actually very comfortable.
