Impressive snow squalls on I-95 in Stratford at 6:45 this morning. Literally looked like I was driving into a wall of snow... visibility almost instantly went down to ~150 yards. Most traffic slowed to about 30 mph, but there were still a few folks in the left lane trying to go 70.

Huh, that makes good sense. I didn't notice any insulation around the duct, but that's not where it's dripping from. Water is coming down and dripping from the light bulb on this fixture:



It's about 12" away from the kitchen vent.

I bet it felt good getting to stretch the truck's legs a bit.

Justin, I Just came from Middle St. and picked up diesel for $1.77 at Citco. While there a trucker told me that it was cheaper down the road. So when I left Citco went toward Southington 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile an Middle Street and there is a brand new Cumberland station just past ESPN parking lot on the right are you ready $1.68

Good morning guys.

I have a cold 15*.

Tom it would not be leaking that much. You have something else going on.

I am jealous of you guys up north, we still have $2.30-2.40 diesel down on the shore.

jbehuniak what were you doing down in Madison ? I am in the northern part on town.

Morning

Cold out there this morning with the wind blowing.

Going to pull out the snow blower this morning and fire it up to make sure I'm ready IF we get hit with a storm.

Good morning everyone!

Now I'm getting jealous, we haven't had any snow to speak of, and the forecast isn't looking great. We've got plenty of cold though, -12° at the moment.

Keep in mind that the new Cumberland down from ESPN charges an extra 10 cents for credit.

I didn't know that, so the $1.68 is costing me a penny more than the $1.77 that I am paying at Citco. Thanks interesting.

I thought at Cumbys the 10c you save is if you're a rewards member. That's how it is in MA anyways. They don't charge extra for credit debit

You have to be a member and then they take money from you as if it is a check instead of credit or debit. Straight credit/debit are still 10 cents more than the cash price though. I keep meaning to sign up but haven't gotten around to it. I'm not sure if it's actually a discount or if you just get the cash price for being a member without having to go inside.
